After the shooting in Austin last week, our dear police chief has come up with a plan to curb future shootings, namely … tell the cops about your friends or family members who love guns. Especially if they ‘hate’ anyone. Uh, okay.

I know it's Austin but what the H? We don't get to "vet" (whatever that means) the cops so they don't get to "vet" us. Sigh............Like the bumper sticker says, "Keep Austin Weird".

“Keep Austin Deep in Police Lawsuits” will be their new slogan.

I bet a lot of cops are gun enthusiasts, even in Austin.

Dear Police Chief of Austin,

Have family that hates firearms but know they are necessary to protect those that refuse to carry. All, of Family, carry and All (Family) will shoot to kill if attacked by a thug or see a thug attack an innocent. Nobody wants to kill anyone but God and Guns Is what made America Great ...! May one of my Family be there if you ever need assistance.

Funny I never heard ‘if you know any aviation enthusiasts who hate someone’ put forth.

Aren’t most law enforcement officers gun enthusiasts? Okay I’m turning you in first and foremost. The liberal idiots are really starting to show their colors this term.

Dear Austin Police Chief,

Watch your bathroom window .... Put the window on the second story and then watch the basement and crawl space.

***I bet a lot of cops are gun enthusiasts, even in Austin.***

Back in the olden days of not so long ago many cops had large personal collections of handguns confiscated from innocent travelers going through Texas.

I believe the laws have changed since then.

The first rule I established for myself was to “never tell anyone” what kind and how many of any guns I own. Only my family, and they have been threatened with disowning.

They (government) will only find out what I have when they come and get me.

I was working on the computer of the wife of a prominent Louisiana Democrat politician.
The conversation drifted to CCW. She asked why I felt the need to carry. I told her "because you won't".
She was pretty cool and still called me for computer work for years after.

Austin is the one thing in Texas that Texans aren’t proud of.

Absolutley, especially neighbors. Only my family and a few close friends are in the know on that subject.

If you know of a Communist Police Chief who wants violation of at least one amendment, force him to turn in his badge!

What a pile of dung!

Who do you suppose hands him money under the table, gang members or the Democrat Party?
