Millions of us would like to know where law enforcement stands after Chuck Grassley has made it easier for mentally ill persons to access high capacity assault weapons while blocking universal, comprehensive background checks, or while not even banning UNNECESSARY assault weapons for personal use.
Trump and Chuck Grassley:

It was beyond appalling and disgusting to see law enforcement officers, after a mass shooting of children, “excited” about meeting Trump, the man who hosted Wayne LaPierre and other extremists on the anniversary of #SandyHook-Newtown shooting, ESPECIALLY after the NRA lied assault rifles into the state of Connecticut as a “sport gun”, while the state of Connecticut had an EXISTING assault rifle ban. The fact that Trump didn’t even see the insensitivity of that party date and the attendees speaks volumes about his and his pro-Russia admin’s focus: NOT THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN!

Obama Endorsed By National Association Of Police Organizations

The Obama campaign on Wednesday afternoon announced that it had received the endorsement of the advocacy group National Association of Police Organizations.
“NAPO is proud to endorse the Obama-Biden ticket today,” NAPO President Thomas J. Nee said in a statement forwarded by the campaign.
“This Administration’s unwavering support for law enforcement has meant that men and women in uniform across the country have the resources they need to do their jobs safely and efficiently, protecting the communities and citizens they serve. There are simply no better friends of law enforcement – and no stronger choice to lead this nation for another term – than President Obama and Vice President Biden.”
The endorsement comes two days after Vice President Joe Biden addressed the organization’s 34th annual convention. It proves the theory that the groups that are traditionally under the Democratic umbrella will be with Obama in 2012, even if some of their primary issues have been put on the backburner.
Limiting the availability of assault weapons is a traditional prerogative for police officers and their unions. And while the administration has reiterated its commitment to renewing the assault weapons ban, it has also signaled that it isn’t going to put much effort into championing new gun control legislation, even in the wake of last week’s mass shooting in Aurora, Colo.
Obama does have a proactive case to make to the group, of course. Whereas Romney has publicly stated he doesn’t feel compelled to spend more federal funds on first responders, firefighters and cops, the president has made the retention of their jobs a top priority.
WHIRL In!
