Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police issues position statement on gun controversy

Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police, has issued a statement on the current controversy over guns at their annual meeting in Cheyenne. Blust says that part of the statement states that they wish to de-emphasize the political wrangling over gun control, and turn the focus to purposeful answers to how we can improve our children’s safety and begins like this.






Blust says some of the points state that WASCOP fiercely supports and defends both the U.S. and Wyoming Constitutions, it support the strong gun heritage that has existed in Wyoming for generations and we continue to stress gun safety as a paramount tenet of gun ownership and it acknowledge that unless we set our schools up like prisons, if a person is determined to enter a school with evil intent, they will succeed unless someone is there to stop them.






Blust says the last point of the statement is that WASCOP members look to law makers to provide legislation based on meaningful discourse that addresses the complexity of evil, mental health, public safety, and preservation of civil rights.
