It seems to me that those most eager to cite second amendment rights are short on knowledge of Constitutional Law and long on easy peasy (dare I suggest Militia-like) opinions. It kinda reminds me of someone who watches hospital shows on television and then has the absolute gall to argue with their cardiologist about appropriate treatment plans. Which is a splendid segue into my thoughts on your claim that Chief Duke has idiot ideas about gun control. Really, Gary???? Any one of us can dismiss his opinions if we chose – but it is the case, on matters of gun control he really is the one wearing a badge, he is the one who has spent decades in law enforcement, invested several years in education and training, and he and his staff are the ones putting themselves in harm’s way when some jackass is on the streets making trouble. He is a competent professional and frankly, is considerably more knowledgeable than you or I on that topic. Could it be, that he is not guided by convenient political rhetoric but rather by experience and training? I think so. Although my interactions with him have been limited I have every reason to hold him in high regard for his leadership and commitment to our community. And, if I lived in Moscow, I would make it a point to drop by and let him, his staff, and the officers serving Moscow that I appreciate the work they do. Actually, come to think of it, I’ve already done that and delivered a couple of plates of cookies as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Since I can’t vote in the city election I leave the outcome of the election to thoughtful community members that recognize the problems associated with allowing any of the aging, drooling, schemers of the rump (a gracious term under the circumstances) faction of the tattered remnants of the Republican party to hold city office.
