This Chief is a loony....how does he rate the criminals with guns...

He’ll never see it, that’s for sure!

Is this guy appointed or elected?

Off the streets would be fine. Out of legal gun owners´ hands is another thing.

Wow! Does that mean criminals will be off the streets within a generation? They won´t give up their guns, you know.

Not in my generation ...

... nor my children´s, either.

Try again next century, tool.

Obviously a "Looper".

Just to bring in knives and machetes as its happening in England

This guy has No depth perception...he had better pack a huge lunch because he is going to need it! He has no common sense either if he is listening to Dianne Frankenfeinstien...

Well if this expert opinion comes from his intimate involvement with the enforcement success of our Heroin laws we know at least one thing: he is either barking mad or functionaly illiterate.

First....dis-arm the south side of Chicago and then we can discuss "Scale-ability".

"Off the Streets" sounds a lot like code for out of my wife´s secure gun-safe and Grandma´s cute, beaded opera clutch.

Hat Tip to G.G. Lidy

Having spent 37 years in the People´s Democratic Republic of Kalifornia, before I made my escape from the gulag, I can certainly see how his thoughts could actually happen in that socialist state. But if he thinks it is going to happen nationwide, then he´s been in Colorado enjoying some of that stinky weed.I would offer him the opportunity to come visit me and personally attempt to take my firearms.

Probably no drugs on the streets either since the "War on Drugs" has been so successful. The only thing this can mean is disarming law abiding citizens as criminals will always have guns. Or, the guy is an idiot.

I am planning to visit that fine city in about 3 weeks. Based on this loon´s comment, coupled with an understanding of geography, it will be my last trip to that fair city.

Criminals will always possess weaponry be it a zip gun, knife, sword, bale hook, baseball bat or fish gig. Law abiding citizens are the only people who are disarmed by regulation.

This guy needs to retire, along with DiFi, BabsBox, and Moonbeam Brown.

Poster 14 has it correct.

He´s appointed #3. Like many "retired" hero cop chiefs he just retires from one chief position and is hired by another. Sometimes they are hired for stuff like a school district or some other government BS.

Police Chiefs are not elected by the people. They are hired by the city they work for. They are nothing but lackies for the current political office holders. The opinions of these Democratic Chiefs are of no account.

If this were to happen, criminals and hoodlums will still have their guns, it´s only the citizenry that would be disarmed.

There´s always a liberal that lets the cat out of the bag and tells us what they really intend beyond their lying.

Liberals are all about incrementalism and conservatives are too busy working and goi g about our lives thinking are liberty is guaranteed and the freedom we love will last forever. Truth is, liberals are always working underground and in the background trying to usurp that liberty and crush individualism. And we have been asleep while they have been hard at work.

Now they are out in the open believing they can make their move to take this country from us using the ignorant, the gullible, the media, academia and entertainment. The sad thing is that we may have slept too long. They may be right. The country may already be gone.

I agree with #14, #15, and #16. Chief Landsdowne was appointed after a stint in San Jose. San Diego is a fine city, so I hope you enjoy your visit #14. San Diego used to be very a conservative, military-focused city, but like every other city I can think of, it´s changing for the worse, i.e., becoming liberal and stupid.

I´m not going to give up my firearms, period. The police have no legal right to seize them. They also have no legal obligation whatever to protect any individual. The Supreme Court said so. Their only obligation is to enforce the law - as best they can.

I´ve never quite understood why so many law enforcement officers want to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. It seems they want a total monopoly on firearms, which is hardly helpful for enforcing the law or for protecting innocent individuals from violent criminals.

American citizens are arming for the upcoming revolution. The libnut gun grabbers and tyrannical gov´t should think seriously about the consequences of confiscating guns or imposing restrictions on law abiding citizens.

Law abiding citizens are not the problem. The problem is the complete collapse of criminal control.

When guns are banned, such as they are in England, this is what you will read in the San Diego Papers. In London yesterday, Jan 27, 2013, "A 16-year-old boy was heard screaming for his life before he was fatally stabbed by a gang armed with knives and swords, residents of a well-heeled area of London said today." If he had a concealed weapons permit, he probably would not even have had to fire it, just show it and those cowards would have high tailed it out of sight. We cannot trust the cops to save us because they cannot be everywhere at once.

Perhaps he and his employees can demonstrate his commitment by turning in their´s first.

What´s the Chief been smokin´... ?

Seems like this is more of an article about medical marijuana abuse in Coweefornia.

Ain´t none of it gunna happen.

Here is one anecdote to show the chief how wrong he is.
New York State has a tough gun law.
Last week, a 17 year old lad, first name Romeo, was appearing before a local judge for illegal possession of a loaded 357 magnum revolver. And less than a year ago, the lad was convicted of shooting at people with a 357 magnum pistol.
The most recent gun possession charge resulted in a plea bargain - the judge approved a reduction in charges to a misdemeanor. Romeo said he needed time to think it over.
If existing gun laws were enforced, there would be a dramatic reduction in guns on the street. But that will not happen, because the constituents, many of them black and gangbangers, wouldn´t support the democrats.

I think it is vital to get guns off the streets. Good grief, one might get run over and scratched up.

oops. that anecdote was about syracuse, NY.

New laws won´t take our guns off the streets; but stupid men following the stupid new laws WILL die trying.

Lets start with the San Diego police. Lead by example.

Hispanic gangs are currently running parts of San Diego and are working closely with Mexican Cartels. It would be nice if this bozo Sheriff would clean up his county and leave the rest of the country protect ourselves.

What big city in CA. cannot convince citizens to wear clothes in public? Is it San Francisco? Can´t convince people to wear clothes in a civilized society, but will be able to convince people to give up their guns. Don´t think so...

What color shirts will his officers be wearing?

What he is saying in other words - we will reduce the speed limits around banks. Bank robbers cannot escape easily - problem solved. Idiots!

There´s stupid, and then there´s liberal stupid!

And all the lemmings say follow him and we will be safe.

I don´t know if the PPK (peeples reublik of kalifornia) could elect more anti-Constitutional public servants - do these closed minded robots realize why the 2nd amendment exists?

For those of you who think the police wont side with the democrats in their gun grab, this chief is one who will. And take a good look at the chiefs and officers that appear on stage with Barack or DiFi or any of the gun grabbers. They will side against us and the constitution. Make no mistake. These people are not our friends.

"Guns Will Be Taken Off The Streets"

There lies the problem: what´s on the streets-illegal weapons. Taking guns from law abiding citizens who won´t be able to defend themselves will only worsen the problem.

300 Million guns of all types in the U.S. Where will they all go Chief?

Clearly this guy is not the sharpest pencil in the box. First, these laws are unlikely to pass, and (LOL!) you have NOT "broken the NRA".

Where do they find these stupid, insular jerks to be Chiefs?

All the feds have to do is make all gun crimes federal felony offenses with mandatory sentences. Why is this not discussed?

Feinstein intends to make it impossible for gun & ammo mfg´s to produce & distribute products in the US. Then a major confiscation will occur, once Holder has his database of owners complete. That is why this guy said they´ll be gone in a generation.
