It may interest some that, despite propoganda to the contrary, most police
officers are not in favor of gun control.  This month the Harris County
Deputy Sheriff's Union, AFL-CIO, passed without opposition, a resolution
which opposes all legislation which "restricts, taxes, or licenses the
rights of citizens to own, bear, design, buy or sell firearms, ammunition,
parts or components."  The Union advocates "vigorous enforcement of
current state and federal laws which forbid the purchase, possesson or use
of firearms by convicted felons."   The Union represents over 2300 line
officers in the Houston, Texas area.   Don't let HCI and the Chiefs of
Police fool you; line cops know what its like out there.
