Police Chief: We Can Disarm Americans Within A Generation

San Diego Police Chief, William Lansdowne said in an interview that the implementation of new gun laws could allow for the disarming of Americans within a generation.

According to San Diego 6, Lansdowne said in an interview that it may take a generation but guns will eventually be taken off the streets through new laws like Senator Dianne Feinstein's proposed assault weapons ban.

Lansdowne, a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), called for tougher gun laws in an interview with KPBS, and praised President Obama for his initiative on gun control.

"I could not be more supportive of the president for taking the position he has," he said.

"I think it's courageous with the politics involved in this process. But I think it's going to eventually make the country safer and certainly safer for my officers that have to respond to these calls."

Lansdowne believes that the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut weakened the gun lobby's power and has opened the door for new gun control legislation.

"We broke the NRA," Lansdowne bragged off camera.

Lansdowne's position on gun control appears to be in the minority among sheriffs across the nation, however.

As CNSNews.com previously reported, sheriffs from Florida to California have stated publicly that they will not comply with any new gun control measures proposed by the federal government.
