Watch The Broward County Sheriff Destroy The NRA By Calling For Gun Control

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel looked the NRA in the eye and called for more gun control during the CNN town hall on gun violence.

Sheriff Israel said, “First of all, we’ve talked about the Broward sheriff’s office and some other local agencies and the FBI getting tips and what have you. America, there’s one person responsible for this act. That’s the detestable, violent killer. He is responsible for this act. No other — nobody else but him. There’s three things we need to do in America to keep America safe. Number one, we have to use through crime prevention, through environmental design. Build schools differently so they’re harder to penetrate. Number two. We need to be empowering police officers and deputy sheriffs throughout the nation to be able to take people who are an immediate threat to themselves or an immediate threat to someone else to be examined. And we need to take guns away from them, forever. They should never get them back. They should have to go through a psychological evaluation. And if we have a doctor or a clinician have to sign their John Hancock and say, that person should be given back their second amendment right, we’re not going to see doctors do that. But, lastly, we do need to have some gun control reform. 18-year-olds should never have a rifle! An 18-year-old kid should not have a rifle. 18-year-old kid — they’re not adults yet. They’re in high school. These kids should not have a rifle. Bump stocks should be illegal. They should be outlawed forever. Automatic rifles should be outlawed forever. And anybody who says different, I don’t know about other people, but Emma and I, we’re calling bs on that.”

The people who risk their lives every day in law enforcement would love to see fewer guns on the streets and it be more difficult for people with mental illnesses to acquire a gun. The NRA likes to pretend that they are on the side of law enforcement, but in reality, the NRA is the gun industry, and they are only interested in selling more guns. Sheriff Israel’s view isn’t in the minority. Cops would feel much better about going to work each day with assault weapons no longer on the streets.
