A national law enforcement group called for gun-control measures, including expanding background checks for firearm purchasers and banning high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The National Law Enforcement Partnership to Prevent Gun Violence, an alliance of nine police leadership organizations, made its announcement at a Thursday press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The group called on lawmakers to pass "effective, common-sense public safety measures strengthening gun laws, while not diminishing law-abiding gun owners' ability to own and use firearms," according to a statement from the group.
James Johnson, the Baltimore County, Md., police chief, said a high-capacity magazine like one used in the Aurora shooting "simply has no place in civilian hands," reports the Los Angeles Times .
"It is ridiculous to argue that hunters or civilians who own weapons for self-defense need a 100-round drum magazine," he said. "As we have seen, people don't stand a chance against this kind of firepower."
Shadow Systems will provide 700 XR920 crossover pistols for West Virginia State Police troopers and 80 CR920X high-capacity subcompact pistols for the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
