WASHINGTON (AP) — Law enforcement leaders who met with President Barack Obama are urging him to improve the mental health system and strengthen background checks, but did not unify on more controversial gun control measures.
Leaders of the Major County Sheriffs’ Association said they told the president Monday to focus on the mental health system.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says there was broad agreement on the need to require stronger background checks for gun purchases. Ramsey is president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, which backs an assault weapons ban.
The message reflects the political reality in Congress that the assault weapons ban Obama is pushing is likely to have a hard time winning broad support. But the president may have more hope for getting universal background checks.
Obama needs to Go why Dont He just Resign
Agree
how about a background check on odumby
How about a Background check on a president to see if He was Born in America or a USA Citizen that He really Loves America
Nobama is useless, wasted 4 years and now want to destroy our constitution.
In MA, gun owners are already treated many times worse than *** offenders.
You want equality, make everyone who wants a driver’s license go through the hell it takes to get an LTC in MA!
In order to for government to conquer its citizens it must first disarm them
Are the pols looking for the limits of our restraint ???
It’s called freedom of speech…
All I read is STUPID COMMENTS BY IGNORANT AN PROBABLY RACISTS PEOPLE……
Only hurts if its true.
Was wondering how long until the “Fake Black Profile Calling Everyone Racist” demographic made an appearance… Two bonus points for name irony.
