Apparently, firearms have no defensive use according to this guy.

The researchers found that six percent of the sample population had used a firearm in a burglary situation in the last twelve months. [FN32] Extrapolating the polling sample to the national population, the researchers estimated that in the last twelve months, there were approximately 1,896,842 incidents in which a householder retrieved a firearm but did not see an intruder. [FN33] There were an estimated 503,481 incidents in which the armed householder did see the burglar, [FN34] and 497,646 incidents in which the burglar was scared away by the firearm. [FN35] In other words, half a million times every year, burglars were likely forced to flee a home because they encountered an armed victim.
Would you like to provide a case citation for that 1994 ruling?Assault weapons have no self defense purpose-so said the Supreme Court in 1994. That is how the AWB was ruled constitutional.

It is true, in California, where you can get shot for the crime of delivering newspapers...so hes admitting his officers carry guns to actively attack innocent civilians..........so much for that whole " to protect and to serve" thing, eh
Because a crazy LAPD officer on the run for multiple murders would NEVER just show up at your door armed with lots of guns. Nope, you don't need that 'assault rifle' Mr. and Mrs. America.
WoW !!! This man is in charge of a law enforcement agency? How can his officers have any trust in this fool. He has no "Command Presence" , stumbles thru his speach. He apperantly had no idea he was going to be recorded. He looked scared and very unsteady. He dosen't make any valid statments. As retired Leo, I have serious doubts about this man's ability to lead a fishing trip. Sir James, if you read this it's ok to reply
