Matt Silvey's Company Details
We exist because a great many politicians and other anti-gun organizations like to use our profession as a pawn in their political attack on the right of American citizens to own firearms, a right our founding fathers guaranteed all of us when they wrote the second amendment. Not only do they falsely claim that law enforcement as a whole supports gun control, but they also like to point to instances where cops have been murdered by someone wielding a firearm in an effort to use us as a prop. All of the contributors at 2A Cops are either retired or active duty cops. All of us have a strong commitment to the oath we took when pinned on our badges and swore to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. We also believe strongly about protecting the communities in which we live and serve(d). None of us here support additional infringements on any of our constitutionally guaranteed rights, including the second amendment. Please do not misunderstand our commitment to the second amendment to mean that we do not want to see changes made to help keep both the public and the members of law enforcement safer. We just support a different approach than those who constantly call for the banning of weapons. Our multiple decades firsthand experience plainly demonstrated to us that laws will never stop a motivated criminal, but more often than not, when a good guy (or gal) with a gun is present, a criminal's actions stop much sooner, either by their own choice, or through the actions of a third party forcing them to stop.We hope that 2A Cops can be a source of information for people who have not already made up their minds about gun control. We hope they will consider our opinions, which are based on our years of expertise on the subject of crimes and crime prevention. To those who are staunch supporters of more gun control, we invite you to consider what we say and engage in the discussion that will follow.
