Slain Police Officer’s Father Lashes Out at Those Using Son’s Death to Push Gun Control

The father of slain Boulder Police Officer Eric Talley said his son was a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment – and would have reportedly hated to see his death used for political purposes.

“My son would have been deeply offended to know his death would be used to promote gun control. Before he was an officer, he enjoyed shooting,” Eric Talley told TMZ about the 11-year veteran, who was among 10 people slaughtered at a King Soopers supermarket on Monday.

The grieving dad told the news outlet that the late hero cop owned an AR-15, which he often used for target practice.

In the wake of the shooting, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Biden is considering possible executive orders on gun control.

But Talley called Alissa’s alleged attack “a senseless act and that is just it. The situation [Eric] found himself in wasn’t one that the government could protect him from.”

He added: “Just because some wacko goes around shooting people doesn’t mean guns need to be taken away. You can’t take away enough guns to protect this country.”

While acknowledging the need for common-sense gun laws, Talley said that “to take away that freedom completely is something I am against and my son was against.”

He also told TMZ that he’s already letting go of his anger over his son’s murder.

“My family and my son are people of faith, we understand forgiveness and that is necessary for not just the shooter, but for ourselves,” he told the outlet.

Not even 24 hours passed after the shooting and Biden said,

“I don’t need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common-sense steps that will save lives in the future, and urge my colleagues in the House and the Senate to act,”

“We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country,” he said. “I got that done as a senator. It passed and was the law for the longest time. And it brought down these mass killings. We should do it again.”

Biden was referring to the 10-year ban on “assault weapons” passed by a Democratic Congress and signed by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1994.
