Carolyn McCarthy&#8217;s HR 308 ban<\/a> on standard capacity magazines.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;There is no reason that a peaceful society based on rule of law needs its citizenry armed with 30-round magazines,&#8221; Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference, adding that <b>the clips transform a gun &#8220;into a weapon of mass death rather than a home-protection-type device.&#8221;<\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-SAxPjod1wd0\/TW-IjTSnoWI\/AAAAAAAAAOw\/MRjWch2sYoo\/s1600\/chiefBeck%252Bwife.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-SAxPjod1wd0\/TW-IjTSnoWI\/AAAAAAAAAOw\/MRjWch2sYoo\/s1600\/chiefBeck%252Bwife.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Beck at his promotion to Police Chief<\/td>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Beck made that comment yesterday in Los Angeles. There is no word if he also thinks &#8220;weapons of mass death&#8221; should be forbidden to his police officers but somehow I doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>I also wonder what the response time of his police department is to home invasions. Frankly, from everything I&#8217;ve read or heard from experts, a home owner doesn&#8217;t need to be fumbling around making magazine changes during the high stress of a home invasion. It is just inviting even more disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Probably everything you need to know about Chief Beck can be inferred from his comment above and the picture below. A man is known by the company he keeps.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-LvI3fkQIHz4\/TW-KUf0OTHI\/AAAAAAAAAO0\/EskoeNwvnnw\/s1600\/ph-Charlie-Beck-LAPD.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-LvI3fkQIHz4\/TW-KUf0OTHI\/AAAAAAAAAO0\/EskoeNwvnnw\/s1600\/ph-Charlie-Beck-LAPD.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Beck (center) at 2009 Brady event in LA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the &#8220;it&#8217;s OK for us to have but it isn&#8217;t for you peasants&#8221; category comes this comment from&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":3,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[313,4419],"class_list":["post-4708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-brady-center","tag-lapd-chief-charlie-beck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4708"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6346,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4708\/revisions\/6346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
