"Hopefully if law enforcement officials who are dealing with this stuff every single day can come to some basic consensus in terms of steps that we need to take," he said, "Congress is going to be paying attention to them, and we'll be able to make progress."
Obama asks police to help pass gun legislation - Yahoo! News
The brief article makes it clear that he is cherry picking the police chiefs who participate (Aurora, Newtown, etc.). You can bet Sheriff Joe won't be asked by the president to come represent the OUR side of the debate!
And THAT is what we need to push for. For every police chief invited by the administration to sing THEIR song, we need to require our legislators to invite a police chief/sheriff to speak for OUR side!
Question - are there any officers on this forum who can contact their own legislators and volunteer to speak on our behalf to counter Obama's latest move?
To the phones!
