This sort of garbage out of police chiefs around the country has been spewing for a very long time. 99 percent of law enforcement is heavily for as much gun control as they can get. But for this fool to suggest firearms can't be considered defensive weapons has got to be one of the more ludicrous statements from LE I've heard.

Police Chiefs vs. Sheriffs.
One is voted in by the people, the other is appointed. You tell me which is which.

I didn't know that... why the fuck isn't the chief of police elected? How is that even allowed?

It's not a constitutional office.
He is appointed by the Mayor or a council... He is not voted in.
It's always been that way... IE. Terrible.

I've read that the Sheriff is suppose to be the highest ranking law enforcement in his county (over feds, etc...).
I hope that's true

Probably supposed to be, but the Fed's will never allow a state authority to "usurp" their authority, even if it's unconstitutional.

I do believe this is true, if you want to own class 3 restricted items and you dont have a trust you have to get your application approved by the highest ranking law enforcement official in your jurisdiction I believe that is the sheriff if I am not mistaken.
Ive havent had to deal with it but from what I hear thats the procedure.

Chicago Police Chief: Second Amendment Is A Danger To Public Safety
By: Dana Loesch (Diary) | February 17th, 2013 at 07:21 PM | 29
RESIZE: AAA
Chicago’s Chief of Police, who previously blamed ”government-sponsored racism” and Sarah Palin for Chicago’s gun violence, declared that the law-ful exercise of the Second Amendment was a threat to public safety. From the Illinois State Rifle Association:
Chicago’s embattled police superintendent dug himself deeper into a pit of controversy today by claiming that lawful firearm owners are agents of political corruption. Appearing on a Chicago Sunday morning talk show, superintendent Garry McCarthy expressed his conviction that firearm owners who lobby their elected representatives or who donate money to political campaigns are engaged in corruption that endangers public safety. McCarthy went on to express his belief that judges and legislators should rely on public opinion polls when interpreting our Constitution.
After totally dismissing the citizen’s right to redress grievances, McCarthy trained his constitutional wisdom on the 2nd Amendment. Despite recent court decisions to the contrary, McCarthy opined that the 2ndAmendment limits citizens to owning smooth-bore muskets. McCarthy went on to say that he believes that the 2nd Amendment supports mandatory liability insurance for firearm owners and the mandatory application of GPS tracking devices to civilian owned firearms.
“ Garry McCarthy ’s understanding of our Constitution barely qualifies him as a meter maid, never mind the chief of the nation’s third largest police department,” commented ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson . “What on earth would possess McCarthy to assert that constitutional rights should be meted out based on public opinion polls? Let’s not forget that public opinion polls once opposed a woman’s right to vote while it would be a safe bet that, at one time, polls would have shown lynching as an acceptable form of justice. It has been said that our Constitution exists to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. McCarthy’s view of our Constitution is dangerous and unbecoming of a civil servant.”
“McCarthy needs to understand that the lawful firearm owners of this state will continue to lobby their representatives and continue to support candidates who represent their interests,” continued Pearson. “If Garry McCarthy doesn’t like that, well that’s just too bad. If McCarthy is so interested in influence peddling, he should pop into some of the gin mills ringing the Illinois Capitol and count the ruddy red noses of taxpayer-funded lobbyists for the City of Chicago.”
McCarthy’s assertion that the Founders limited arms to smooth bore muskets is demonstrably false as well.
McCarthy has previously said that Illinois “does not have strict gun laws” and that stricter laws were needed in order to adequately combat crimes committed by those illegally possessing firearms.
It’s a concerning prejudice against law-abiding citizens from an official who has the authority to arrest and give orders to fire at them.
