Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke Jr. is encouraging citizens in a radio PSA to get armed and get training...

Sheriff David Clarke Jr. 

It is very good advice.

I’m Sheriff David Clarke, and I want to talk to you about something personal…your safety. It’s no longer a spectator sport; I need you in the game, but are you ready? With officers laid-off and furloughed, simply calling 9-1-1 and waiting is no longer your best option. You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back; but are you prepared? Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We’re partners now. Can I count on you?

Milwaukee's Mayor Barrett, Democrat, responds to this sound advice by Sheriff Clarke by lying about it. Mayor Barrett claims that the Sheriff is discouraging people from calling 911. That is not true. Sheriff Clarke says: "Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there."

Update:
Barack Obama blames GOP for not compromising (no Mr. President, the problem is you and your gun grabbing Democrats).
Bill Clinton is showing some better political smarts on this topic...
