''This is not a local issue. It has local implications, obviously. A police officer was just killed here,'' said Timoney, an ardent gun control advocate.
``The resolution of this is in the nation's capital. But there's no appetite to address that.''
U.S. Reps. Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton; Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, and Kendrick Meek, D-Miami, all said Wednesday they support a new assault weapon ban.
''That officer was killed by an assault weapon that shouldn't have been in anybody's hands, at all,'' Hastings said angrily Wednesday.
The National Rifle Association was provided with a copy of the IACP report, but did not return phone calls for comment. Several Republican lawmakers also did not return phone calls.
Wonder why they haven't banned cars or alcohol, I mean they are just as dangerous and accessible... oh now that would be silly
Look Look, the big bad NRA has no comment...
Yes, being a LEO can be a dangerous job, I'm not making fun of that, but this guys views are typical knee-jerk reaction... since it is an election year and all, I doubt anyone will touch the issue with a 10' pole....
