Cabby your entire post is based on unsubstantiated claims and assumptions. Lets look at them.
There is now NO reason for law enforcement to support CCW by lowly citizens, let alone National CCW. We have lost allies in this fight, because now that they've got theirs, why should they fight for us.
That also means there is no reason for them to be in the NRA or any other group right? But wait, there are many law enforcement officers who are. Maybe, just maybe there are still many law enforcement officers out there who are not selfish and self-serving and they actually care about the Constitution and liberty and they will continue to fight for what is right for everyone? Nah, according to Cabby it is impossible. I mean he used that opinion poll and article to back up his claim. Oh wait he didn't. Lets look back at blackdragon's post at the front end of this thread.
I was fairly undecided on if this was a good thing or not, until I browsed the LEAA web site. Keep in mind these guys successfully lobbied 218 through.
Article titles: Time Running Out for the Clinton Gun and Magazine Ban
It was a bad law from the start...
Cops versus Gun Control
The simple truth in undeniable: rank-and-file cops oppose gun control.
Self-Defense and the Armed Citizen
...Find out how gun control is killing law-abiding citizens...
Hmmmm strange, the Law Enforcement Alliance of America is producing articles that deal with issues that LEOs are already immune from and actually talk about all of our rights? It must be a dirty trick because they don't have to care anymore.
Why don't cops fight for relaxing speed limits?
Again, I really liked the article you linked us to stating that most law enforcement are against relaxing speed limits because the laws don't apply to them. Oh wait, again you failed to provide any supporting evidence. Now this is just a thought, maybe law enforcement is against relaxing speed laws because they are tired of shoveling up brains off of the interstate and highways because people are going way too fast! Sure lets live in a libertarian world where everyone just does as they please right? We don't need any speed limits. Until a inexperienced teenage driver plows through a crosswalk full of children and you kid is dead. Don't bother coming back to me with how liberal I sound and how by my same reasoning we should ban all guns for the children. There is very little correlation between using a gun more or faster and causing accidents and we know that combining fast driving with other distractions increases accident rates. Just in case you don't believe me here are two articles supporting my position.
http://www.geocities.com/thesciencefiles/defensive/driving.html. Well it seems driving fast is just one part of the more complex of inattention at the wheel.
http://www.dot.state.az.us/ROADS/traffic/speed.htm. Speed doesn't kill, but speed limits do help save lives.
Why won't cops fight for National CCW?
Again a right to the point article that summed up the law enforcement professionals disdain for armed americans. Oh, sorry, that is sarcasm again, you provided no evidence to back up your opinion.
http://www.txchia.org/artslat6.htm. A cop who wants national concealed carry reciprocity, not to be confused with the recently passed HR 218 for LEOs only. I am sure if we contact him now he will say, "Screw you guys, we got ours."
Just go look at the
LEAA Website. These guys are on our side. As far as the big police union organizations, of course they aren't fighting for us, they are liberal police unions. The general consensus remains, rank and file cops are generally conservative and they like guns in the hands of citizens. This hysteria about how cops are now going to abandon us because they got theirs is ludicrous. I wish I could say the same about gun owners in regards to their opinions about California. The most support I get out of non-Californian's is "move". However, I won't make the mistake of labeling all of non-Californian's that way and I know there are people out there who believe in what is right and will stand against what is wrong even if it has no direct effect on their rights. According to so many of the hysterical around here, law enforcement is for some reason exempt from caring about anyone but themselves.
