Obama, flanked by law enforcement officials, renews gun violence push to reduce gun violence, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Jan. 28, 2013.

Among the law enforcement officials at the meeting, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, were the police chiefs from Aurora, Colo.; Oak Creek, Wis. and Newtown, Conn., the sites of the most recent high-profile mass shootings.

Obama said that mobilizing police officers and sheriffs behind his agenda will help spur Congress to consider and pass the legislation he is pushing for.

“No group is more important for us to listen to than our law enforcement officials. They're where rubber hits the road,” he said. “And hopefully if law enforcement officials who are dealing with this stuff every single day can come to some basic consensus in terms of steps that we need to take, Congress is going to be paying attention to them and we'll be able to make progress.”

Good!! I don't think he will let us down and will continue to pursue some kind of gun control.

So cops are starting to back Obama? No surprise...considering how the right has demonized and betrayed police officers the past 4 years.

Having the support a few Chiefs who's livelihood is dependent on politicians, does not equate to support of all law enforcement. The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association says they will not enforce unconstitutional mandates. But hey, let's not let facts get in the way of a good story.
