"It was the brass...."

Well there you go. So we punish the officer on the street who is trying his best to do the right thing and protect people while getting paid peanuts by denying him the tools he needs to do that very difficult and under appreciated job.

Now was that the LAPD officers on the street, or was that the desk-bound LAPD brass?

How is LAPD "gun banners?" They are a law enforcement agency sworn to and tasked with upholding the law. They don't make the law, they just enforce it. When I was an NCO, I had to enforce a whole bunch of silly regulations, stupid policies, and boneheaded orders. It wasn't my place to sift through them and cherry-pick the ones I liked. You think I agreed with picking up trash along Bragg Boulevard while we had jobs over 30 days in the shop? No. And I argued about it with the Shop Officer. But not in front of the troops.

This whole idea of boycotting Kimber because they "support gun banners" is stupid and its lazy. It's trying to get the gun manufacturers to do your dirty work for you because you're too lazy to vote, too lazy to write letters to your representatives and to the newspaper edtiors, and too lazy to talk to your friends and neighbors and convince them to do the same.
