Conservative bloggers took issue with a comment made Wednesday in Washington by Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson.
"I find it very scary, creepy, and just not based on logic," said Johnson—referring to comments made at the hearing by National Rifle Association executive Wayne LaPierre—during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence, according to a report by The Guardian.
LaPierre, in remarks at the hearing, tied the Second Amendment to the "tyranny of King George and they wanted to make sure that these people in this new country would never be subjugated to tyranny," he said, according to the report.
The four-hour hearing also included testimony from former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was injured in a 2011 mass shooting while speaking to constituents in Tuscon. Giffords read brief written testimony and was joined by husband Mark Kelly, who also spoke to the committee.
Johnson, who has served as Baltimore County's chief of police since 2007, also chairs the National Law Enforcement Partnership to Prevent Gun Violence.
Politics site Twitchy posted a piece citing tweets that took issue with Johnson's comment, interpreting it as an attack on the Second Amendment and initially mistaking Johnson as the police chief for Baltimore City (that has since been corrected by the site).
Johnson's full prepared testimony is on the Judiciary Committee's website.
in fear of executuion or imprisonment for opposing Iran's tyranny." Man, turn off the Faux News. Iran overthrew the tyrant when they had their revolution and overthrew the Shah.
Atlanta • A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said. Multiple shots were fired in the courtyard of Price Middle School just south of downtown around 1:50 p.m. and the one boy was hit, Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts, he said. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/world/55742445-68/shooting-atlanta-police-says.html.csp The NRA has been completely vindicated.

Why don't you ask him where he got the statistic from before you stick your foot in your mouth?
That is a terrible failure on top of the other total failures. ENFORCE the existing laws before you pass new ones you won't enforce!
"Iranian-American Priest 'Sentenced To Eight Years In Jail' " for being a Christian! How dare anyone say Iran is run by tyrants. They are the most tolerant religion on the planet.
Do you think that happy days are here again, Lorna?
And there 1ke is the problem with tyrants. Once they get a strong hold, they may pass the "sword" but they ain't about to give away the spoils to any democratic thought process. I would be delighted to help raise funds to send you there, darling. And, if you are very, very good, we could raise funds to bring you back. You could even present a seminar on your findings. We need to be enlightened and it appears you may be just the person to do it. What say you, honey child?
He didn't have anything to do with the US Embassy hostages. That was cooked up and parroted by the usual suspects. You know, the same ones who believe the President was born in Kenya....

To impugn actions or thought to others where there is no basis is ignorant and abusive and vile and expected from you. At least you admitted doing this since you have failed to show where you read it. A surrender comment if there ever was one. A sign of total ignorance.
