13044995, NOW they wanna do something about guns. I thought it was Obama

The head of Cleveland's police union said Sunday he would ask Ohio Gov. John Kasich to suspend open-carry gun rights for a week after several police officers were gunned down in Baton Rouge, La.

"It's a heartbreaking day," said union president Steven Loomis. The union's attorneys are also asking Kasich to declare a state of emergency in the city during the Republican National Convention, which begins Monday.

Loomis repeatedly said he was not "against the 2nd Amendment," but that recent killings of police in Dallas and Louisiana, combined with volatile confrontations that could occur outside the convention, will create situations that are too risky for city police.

Under the law in Ohio and many other states, people have a legal right to openly carry rifles and other long guns. As a result, although police have prohibited a wide variety of items from the protest zone near the conventions — tennis balls, water pistols, chains and practically anything else that could be used as a weapon — they can't ban guns.

Officers will have to take extra precautions around anyone who chooses to carry a rifle, which might distract them from necessary law enforcement actions, Loomis said.

Kasich should be able to enact an executive order, Loomis said, because firearms are already banned inside the "hard security zone" along the immediate perimeter of the convention site.

Calls to a spokesman for Kasich, who dropped out of the presidential race in May, were not immediately returned.

Cops and law enforcement nationally have always been pro gun control.....This is nothing new. Now the Right Wing politicians and NRA...That's a whole other can of worms....

based on their backgrounds, where they live, and what their communities are like as there are in the rest of the population.

Most of the time I see police chiefs coming on TV calling for more gun control. Hell, just a few days ago Cleveland's police chief pleaded to Kasich to suspend Ohio's open carry law for three days....They don;t want to shoot it out with citizens holding automatic weapons....

13045039, ...... NOPE, FOH infringing on the second amendment

If it's okay for these domestic white terrorists to have guns then it is okay for legal law abiding citizens to carry them. Where was this call for a suspension of open carry rights when that terrorist gunned down a US Senator in a church?

Nah, it's too late to put this can of worms back. It's open and they're everywhere. They need to just come out and say they don't want black people open carrying but that is illegal as everyone is allowed to open carry.

TL;DR, Fuck y'all, go holla at the second amendent.
