CNN reports that the four officers were serving a warrant on the suspected drug dealers. Acevedo’s solution to this scenario is more gun control for law-abiding citizens.

He wants an “assault weapons” ban, a “high-capacity” magazine ban, and a requirement background checks for private gun sellers at gun shows.

On January 15, 2019, Breitbart News reported Department of Justice (DOJ) figures showing that fewer than three percent of prisoners who used guns for crime acquired those guns at a gun show or at retail. The vast majority — 56 percent — stole their guns, acquired them at the scene of a crime, or got them via the black market. So Acevedo’s war on gun shows would do little to prevent criminals from getting guns, but it might keep a grandpa from buying a shotgun he was going to use to duck hunt with his grandson.

Let's not get the truth in the way of government oppression.

Acevedo's Universal Solution every place he has been is "gun control." This particular incident is beginning to rot from the head like a fish left in the sun. The search warrant alleged a black tar heroin buy at that house, none was recovered in the search after killing the owners and their dog. The warrant also alleged they were big-time dealers with piles of illicit funds, none was recovered in the search. One injured officer has now been suspended as the entire matter is investigated. And I've certainly had my fill of that whiny-voiced HPD union president who looks like he's never strapped up or made a felony arrest in his life.

Hmm... Take away prayers and guns and what do you have? No one left who will care and no one left who can do anything about it.

Gun control. OK, use two hands on a 44 Magnum.
Done.

Done.

I was taught that gun control WAS using both hands. Pops even gave me a bumper sticker that said that. That bumper sticker is long gone, think I need another one.

Is relieved of duty the equivalent to being fired?

Is relieved of duty the equivalent to being fired?

Probably just suspended.
