Chicago Police Chief: Second Amendment Is A Danger

Chicago Police Chief: Second Amendment Is A Danger To Public Safety



Chicago’s Chief of Police, who previously blamed ”government-sponsored racism” and Sarah Palin for Chicago’s gun violence, declared that the law-ful exercise of the Second Amendment was a threat to public safety. From the Illinois State Rifle Association:
Chicago’s embattled police superintendent dug himself deeper into a pit of controversy today by claiming that lawful firearm owners are agents of political corruption. Appearing on a Chicago Sunday morning talk show, superintendent Garry McCarthy expressed his conviction that firearm owners who lobby their elected representatives or who donate money to political campaigns are engaged in corruption that endangers public safety. McCarthy went on to express his belief that judges and legislators should rely on public opinion polls when interpreting our Constitution.

After totally dismissing the citizen’s right to redress grievances, McCarthy trained his constitutional wisdom on the 2nd Amendment. Despite recent court decisions to the contrary, McCarthy opined that the 2ndAmendment limits citizens to owning smooth-bore muskets. McCarthy went on to say that he believes that the 2nd Amendment supports mandatory liability insurance for firearm owners and the mandatory application of GPS tracking devices to civilian owned firearms.

He is getting the heat for being Murder City USA and wants to shift the blame to anyone and everyone. They need to find a new superintendent.

So an officer of the law openly states he is against the constitution and the laws he is sworn to uphold. He should be immediately removed from office.

Hmmm...interesting opinion. Did you read the article? Or the actual press release from the Illinois State Rifle Associaiton that GRUP's usualy propaganda is based on?

ISRA: Chicago Police Superintendent McCarthy Crosses The Line -- SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Feb. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

Nowhere does anything state (openly or otherwise) that the Chief is against the Constitution. In fact, there is not a single quote attributed to the Chief or link to the text of the Chief's comments.

Additionally, there is another Amendment to the Constitution, its actually the first one, that gives a citizen the right to free speech.

Unfortunately, the First Ammendment does not provide that speech must be intelligent, informed or educated (your post proves this as much as what the Chief of Police may or may not have said).

Your reading comprehension is in question here. You are the exception I refer to in my siggy!

Nothing like pandering to his audience, even when he's factually wrong.
