Citty Under Fire For Gun Control Comment

Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty, who yesterday called for more gun control following a gang-related drive-by shooting that wounded six over the weekend, is under fire today from numerous quarters.

National Rifle Association news commentator Mike McCarville told NRA News listeners last night Citty "apparently has bought into the 'it's the guns, not the criminals' mindset" that propels those pushing gun control.

"Why isn't he talking about more gang control?" McCarville asked. "And since when do gang members pay any attention to gun laws? The only thing Citty's proposal would produce is more restrictions on those who already follow the law."

The NRA's Institute for Legislative Action put the Citty story on its international news wire feed, prompting numerous 2nd Amendment bloggers to comment.

The Oklahoma Shooters Association blog is jammed today with comments critical of Citty. Read them at http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30828.

Oklahoma City outdoor television and radio show host Ron Black scorches Citty in comments posted today on his blog.

KTOK radio talk show host Mark Shannon discussed Citty's remarks on his afternoon talk show.
