Learned yesterday, that the FOP supports the nomination of Judge Brown. It is curious to me

[Samrob]

that we haven't heard , or at least the media has not reported, the FOP's position on all the gun law regulations and restrictions being summarily and blatantly being rescinded and overturned by GOP governors and GOP state legislatures. Some even removing requirements for having permits and licenses to own and even open-carry. Does the FOP understand that this almost gives invitation to thugs of all strips who hate the "pigs?"

Is the FOP weighing in on any of these backward state actions? Do they even care? The last time I looked at stats, more law enforcement was shot and killed by white armed men than by any other group. Where does the FOP stand on the gun issues?

3. The head of the Indiana State Police....

….tore into the General Assembly in a senate committee hearing on Indiana’s constitutional carry bill. He flat-out said they were being hypocrites in their “support” of the police, and that this bill could get cops killed. He also called them out on being a supermajority, accountable to no one. He pissed a lot of people in power off, but a lot of us stood up and cheered.

But then…

Governor signs the bill into law this week, and the same man issues a weak-sauce comment about working within that law. Many people were confused and saddened by that backtrack. Now, when cops pull somebody over, and that person has a weapon, there will be no way to know if that person can legally carry. That was the whole point of the licensing process.

Do I feel safer? Hell, no. But gunz rule.
