From the article: "But these sheriffs point to Louisiana movie theater shooter John Houser. They say he was denied a permit in Alabama in 2006. However, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor says Houser would have likely been given one under current gun laws."
He didn't have a permit. And he didn't need one to take a gun into a public venue and shoot people.
Gun restrictions only affect law abiding citizens. They have no impact on criminals.
These anti-gun sheriffs would be better advised to pay attention to the criminals that are already carrying guns illegally instead of lobbying against laws to remove restrictions on law abiding citizens.
It's LEOs like these that give a bad name to the rest of them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
