LAW ENFORCEMENT STILL SUPPORTS
LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS

"...93% of the respondents feel that any law-abiding citizen should be able to purchase a firearm for sport or self-defense..."

      The 13th Annual National Police Survey, conducted by the National Association of Chiefs of Police, once again confirms what NRA has been saying for years -- law enforcement supports our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

      The survey, which was sent this year to nearly 25,000 Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs, asks a number of questions regarding crime and crime prevention, and each year the results have shown that law enforcement supports cracking down on violent criminals with firearms, not imposing more restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.

      This year’s survey showed that 93% of the respondents feel that "any law-abiding citizen should be able to purchase a firearm for sport or self-defense."
