Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County, WI made news recently when he aired a radio ad asking his constituents to consider arming themselves for self-defense. Here's the audio of the ad....
Predictably, this hefty dose of common sense was too much to swallow for the lefty moonbats that infest Wisconsin. Roy Felber, president of the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriff's Association, said this about Clarke's ad....
"That doesn't sound too smart. People have the right to defend themselves, but they don't have the right to take the law into their own hands."
Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett piled on....
"Apparently, Sheriff David Clarke is auditioning for the next Dirty Harry movie..."
Not to be out-done by her fellow moonbats, Jeri Bonavia of the anti-gun lobbying group Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort demanded an apology from Sheriff Clarke....
"I feel like this is such an irresponsible thing for our chief public safety officer of a county to do. I think he owes this community an apology, and if he really believes that he's not capable of providing for our public safety he should get a different job."
Quiz time.....
If you do as Sheriff Clarke suggests....that is obtain a firearm, train with it to become safe and proficient in its use, and then use it to defend yourself and your loved ones against a violent criminal invading your home, you are which of the following?
- a vigilante
- a Dirty Harry wannabe
- irresponsible
- all of the above
What we need most now is more wisdom from men like Sheriff Clarke, and less idiocy from dolts like Tom Barrett and Jeri Bonavia. Want to learn a little more about Sheriff Clarke? Read his bio here, and check out his blog here.
