MISFIRE: Law Enforcement Calls For Gun Control…But Fails Miserably

By Beth Baumann

Every year, law enforcement officers who pay the ultimate sacrifice are remembered during National Police Week, which began on Monday.

Two of our favorite gun control advocates – former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly – decided to use this week of remembrance to kick off a new initiative in conjunction with law enforcement leaders.

The coalition sent a memo to the White House, Capitol Hill and gun control activists, detailing their opposition to the issues.
