Reporter immediately regretted asking that question.

Criminals will get a gun by any means necessary. Totally agree with this sheriff.

[hurricane]

It’s not the gun. It’s the person behind it.

[terricohn]

Finally. An officer speaking common sense. Well done sir

[colleenbjork]

This Sheriff knows the truth and happy to see him speak out to people. It’s the ignorant people who are allowing their children to hang out with corrupt children and not stopping it. Parents need to choose the friends for their children...don’t let others choose them. Be on alert as to who the thugs are.

[crossfire]

No truer words have ever been spoken. Criminals don't care about the law in the first place.

[PhobosPlace]

criminals do not follow laws so adding more laws and/or making more strict laws will not stop them.

When I was in grade eight back in the early 70's and moved to a new town the principal called my parents to talk with them about the 'bad' kids I started hanging around. I will forever be thankful for this.

I wish our sheriff in Nashville thought with this gentleman’s knowledge and backbone, every point he touched on was a sure fire talking point for mainstream media to lose thier minds over. We the people love this Sheriff

Florida sheriffs are built different, no filter. Need more of em.

[jimmelkonian]

Don't punish the law abiding citizens, enforce the laws on the books and arrest the criminal to the fullest of the laws...

[Emrson]

Parents have the right to know who their children are hanging out with. You are absolutely correct it’s called parenting you should already know.

[jordanwaldeck]

Now this is a sheriff. People seem to forget that the sheriff is the very top person in our
Area, tasked with protecting OUR RIGHTS. They take the ultimate oath and all should take it as serious as this sheriff. You can not make laws that infringe on out rights, period.

[kendradamm]

What we need are responsible parents. Period.

[rumplestilskin]

The guy's almost as ballsy as Sheriff Grady!

[ek]

We need more honest and unafraid to speak truth Sheriffs like this man.

[Akgrown]

We need Sheriff's just like this across the country

[RatdogDRB]

Love me a Sheriff with common sense, and willing to use it.

[wegmandan]

If only parents raised a discipline child. So now they are a undisciplined adult. And society has to deal with it.

Good to Hear An HONEST OFFICER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT LAWS
