The Brady's And Law Enforcement...

PERFECT TOGETHER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nine leading national
law enforcement groups today joined the Brady Center to Prevent Gun
Violence in filing a "friend of the court" brief urging the United States
Supreme Court to reverse a federal appeals court ruling striking down a
District of Columbia gun law as a violation of the Second Amendment.


"We urge the Supreme Court to listen to the voice of those who put
their lives on the line every day to protect communities from gun
violence," said Brady Center President Paul Helmke. "The law enforcement
community has argued, clearly and forcefully, for allowing the
life-and-death issues raised by gun violence to be decided by the elected
representatives of the people, without the interference of courts anxious
to distort the Second Amendment's meaning."


The brief, filed in District of Columbia v. Heller, argues that the
lower court ruling, if affirmed, would grant courts unprecedented authority
to nullify the decisions of elected officials to adopt measures they
believe are needed to protect their communities from gun violence. (It is

Nine national law enforcement groups, representing thousands of police
executives and rank-and-file officers, have joined the brief, which points
to the long history of local, state and national laws to reduce the danger
of gun violence, "with demonstrable public safety benefits." For example,
the brief cites the success of Brady Law background checks, which have
prevented more than 1.4 million felons and other legally prohibited buyers
from purchasing guns, contributing to a sharp national drop in gun crimes
and homicides following the enactment of the statute in 1993. According to
the brief, "this Court should not grant courts the unprecedented power to
second-guess legislative decisions on the control of deadly weaponry."


The groups joining the Brady Center brief include the International
Association of Chiefs of Police; the Major Cities Chiefs; the International
Brotherhood of Police Officers; the National Organization of Black Law
Enforcement Executives; the Hispanic American Police Command Officers
Association; the National Latino Peace Officers Association; the National
Black Police Association; the School Safety Advocacy Council; and the
Police Executive Research Forum.

At least the Brady Bunchers didn't swear an oath to defend the
Constitution.The cops who did so and are now turning
traitor have a reserved place in hell thats allocated for
all turncoats.
