If our major media were not fully committed propagandists, they would report the findings of a large scale survey of law enforcement personnel on the subject of further gun legislation. After all, they are currently following the President's strategy of distracting the public from the awful state of the economy by exploiting the victims of Newtown to push for further erosion of Second Amendment rights. So the views of law enforcement personnel ought ot be of some interest.

But of course the results are dramatic, and show that the people who deal with gun crime (and all other crime) understand that guns in the hands of law abiding citizens are a very good idea.

Police One, the leading website for law enforcement professionals, received over 15,000 responses to its survey on gun policy and law enforcement. They constitute a strong refutation of the liberal program, and so must be suppressed at all costs. See the Police One summary here. For example:

1.)    Virtually all respondents (95 percent) say that a federal ban on manufacture and sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds would not reduce violent crime.

2.)    The majority of respondents - 71 percent - say a federal ban on the manufacture and sale of some semi-automatics would have no effect on reducing violent crime. However, more than 20 percent say any ban would actually have a negative effect on reducing violent crime. Just over 7 percent took the opposite stance, saying they believe a ban would have a moderate to significant effect. 

As the case of the bugging of Mitch McConnell's office and the suppression of the news of Dr. Kenneth Gosnell's shocking and disgusting murder of babies prove, the media progressives have moved to an aggressive new stage of operations, utterly divorced from integrity, pushing for the fundamental transformation promised by candidate Obama in 2008.
