WSBTV.COM 30 Minutes Ago Georgia Sheriff's Association against stricter gun control The Georgia Sheriff's Association, a group that consists of the more than 100 elected sheriffs from around Georgia, said stricter gun control measures won't stop mass shootings. The GSA's position on the gun debate, which is posted on the homepage of the GSA website, is as follows: "The sheriffs took an oath to support the Constitution and will stand by the 2nd Amendment. The sheriffs will aggressively oppose federal or state legislation which infringes upon law abiding citizens' right to bear arms. The sheriffs further agree to support any legislation that would effectively penalize criminals who use firearms in the commission of crimes." Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills is president of the GSA. He told Channel 2's Shae Rozzi that that one way to reduce gun-related crime would be to ensure that felons served their full sentences, insisting that lax senten...

STANDWITHARIZONA.COM 12 Hours Ago Sheriff Joe Arpaio Vows Not to Enforce New Federal Gun Control Laws by John Hill Washington D.C. politicians and their allies in the mainstream media have frantically been pushing tough new restrictions on guns and ammo magazines, trying to manipulate public opinion in the wake of the Newtown, CT school massacre. But the Sheriff of the 4th largest county in the United States has a message for them: not in my county. Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told a local radio host the federal government is “going to have problem” if they expect him to confiscate guns from private citizens. Arpaio told Mike Broomhead of KFYI Radio in Phoenix, Ariz. that he will uphold the 2nd Amendment rights of his citizens: “I took [multiple] oaths of office, and they all say I will defend the Constitution of the United States,” “Now if they’re going to tell the sheriff that he’s going to go around picking up guns from everybody, they’re going to have ...

SISTERTOLDJAH.COM 12 Hours Ago Well, there goes the #guncontrol narrative: Armed guard at Atlanta school stops shooter One of the arguments gun control advocates have made in the wake of the massacre at the Sandy Hook elementary school is that an armed defender would do no good, perhaps be even more dangerous to children and staff than simply hiding, or… something. (1) I guess the administrators of Price Middle School in Atlanta didn’t get the memo, because an off-duty cop hired as an armed security guard disarmed a psycho student with a gun, preventing a potential slaughter: Atlanta’s police chief says an armed officer working at a city middle school where a student was shot was able to disarm the suspect, also a student, moments after the shooting. Authorities say a 14-year-old boy was shot in the back of the neck Thursday at Price Middle School and his injury does not appear to be life-threatening. The suspect was taken into custody. Once again, the best defense against a ...

RIGHTVOICEMEDIA.COM 8 Hours Ago Why Sheriff Clarke’s PSA is so dangerous to Gun Grabbers Sheriff David A. Clarke The Left has predictably banded together to attack the public spirit, if not the sanity, of Sheriff Clarke. He was invited on CNN by the fair and balanced Piers Morgan to defend his irresponsible PSA. Morgan opened the conversation with “Why did you do it?” The implication is that it was irresponsible to recommend that citizens ever take any action to defend themselves. He went on to say that the sheriff was in favor of Milwaukee returning to a “wild west” scenario where gun owning persons can create chaos. I have been thinking about this and why I believe the Left is so opposed to personal defense. There are many possible motives, but I believe that central to the issue is the question of who is responsible? This is actually two questions. First, who do we believe possesses the wisdom and decisiveness to act in a life or death situation? Since we have the wide ran...
