Line police officers oppose gun restrictions

Line police officers oppose gun restrictions. They have a website they "gather" at. It did a poll of its police officers and found substantial opposition to controls on guns.

These officers are on the front line of crime in the US. What does their experience tell them?

Q: Do you think a federal ban on manufacture and sale of ammunition magazines of more than ten rounds would reduce violent crime?

A: No, say 95.7%

Q: What do you think a federal ban on manufacture and sale of some semi-automatic weapons, termed by some "assault weapons" would have on reducing violent crime?

A: None, say 71%

- Negative, say 20.5%. A total of 91.5% say no positive effect!

And there are nine more questions.
