I should setup a Billy Madison auto response for any time Acevedo (or Obama) is quoted in an article. It would read:
"Mr. Acevedo/Obama, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent message were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

LMAO
But seriously, what the fat chief had to say goes completely against what we have seen with types of criminals. "He seemed perfectly normal to me," "He was a nice guy," "He was a little weird, but never thought he was capable of this..."
Most of these nutcases and psychopaths go by completely unnoticed to most folks. Some don't, and when people report them to the police, guess what, the cops do nothing, because there nothing they can do until that person commits a crime...As it should be.
If you dig a little deeper into what chief fat ass said, you see something really sinister. He wants to know who "owns guns" and he wants the people of Austin to be little snooping, sniveling, spying bastards in trying to figure out who owns a gun, "does this guy owns guns", "I don't think this guy should own a gun."
Well how many gun owners out there go broadcasting to everyone that they own guns? Nothing wrong with that, but I'm sure most people don't. Even the crazies who might do something violent. So does this idiot chief want people with NRA stickers or who wear pro-gun shirts reported? Do they want to keep some kind of list of everyone who owns guns in Austin? Sure sounds like it. He needs to get run out of town for this. Maybe somebody needs to get a rally or petition going.
To reiterate, he is not asking folks to merely report people who might be violent, he is asking for certain types of people with unfavorable beliefs and who own guns to be reported.
What about knives? Crazies can sure do some stabbing and slashing in short time.
This is a specific target on people who own guns and people who have what the left considers "extremist views," which is pretty much everyone to the right of Lenin or Mao. And it's even more insulting that he considers someone who owns a gun to be more likely to commit a violent act. This is NYPD, California mentality here, right in Austin.

I was thinking the same. How about that racist guy working at the fertilizer plant or driving a gas truck or...or...or...
How about "report a thug"? If you see a black male with sagging pants walking around on a bad side of town, call the cops on him. I guarantee you he is more likely to be committing some violent acts in the near future than even the craziest, hateful, right-wing extremist living in a shack in the woods with an entire arsenal.

How about taking less interest in what others say or do and more emphasis on living the way we personally choose? I am firearms owner, have plenty of gear to my trade, wear BDU's around my home and yard (mostly for the extra nutsack room and resilient material), and never worry about being tagged, reported, profiled, discriminated, and pretty much not worried about a darn thing. Why? Because the words of others weigh little on the way I choose to live, and absolutely have no influence on the way I feel.
I dont know too much about my nieghbors except that they choose not to own firearms. I'm perfectly fine with not being "typical" around my nieghbors, I work hard at standing out and do so legally. There seems to be so many labels placed on other people and its just a lot more important to take less interest in the lives of others and create more focus on our own lives we choose to live. Acevedo's comments made sense. Did I care whether I agreed? No. Did I care whether I disagreed? No. Do I listen to others opinions? Absolutely. But no one can have a choice of words come out of thier mouth that will effect the way I feel about the way I choose to live or the firearms I choose to own. Letting some other man's words effect the way you feel is just giving someone else power over you. Don't do it.

I does not affect what I think or how I chose to live.
But his words do reinforce others unreasonable fears of some because of an object they own. They don't need more Police Power, what they need is a phsychiatrist.

So what are we talking about? Racists? So if you know a racist who owns guns, you should report him? Or perhaps some Libertarians you know are a little to angry about the latest big government project. Yes, even though all of them have passed their background checks, they should be put on a list, and watched. Aren't you being a little naïve here?
Slippery slope, y'all. From a prisonplanet blog...
As America sinks into a military police state, it begins to parallel more and more aspects of Nazi Germany, especially in the context of citizens being turned against each other, which in turn creates a climate of fear and the constraining sense that one is always being watched.
One common misconception about Nazi Germany was that the police state was solely a creation of the authorities and that the citizens were merely victims. On the contrary, Gestapo files show that 80% of all Gestapo investigations were started in response to information provided by denunciations by “ordinary” Germans.
“There were relatively few secret police, and most were just processing the information coming in. I had found a shocking fact. It wasn’t the secret police who were doing this wide-scale surveillance and hiding on every street corner. It was the ordinary German people who were informing on their neighbors,” wrote Robert Gellately of Florida State University.
Gellately discovered that the people who informed on their neighbors were motivated primarily by banal factors – “greed, jealousy, and petty differences,” and not by a genuine concern about crime or insecurity.
Gellately “found cases of partners in business turning in associates to gain full ownership; jealous boyfriends informing on rival suitors; neighbors betraying entire families who chronically left shared bathrooms unclean or who occupied desirable apartments.”
“And then there were those who informed because for the first time in their lives someone in authority would listen to them and value what they said.”
We already have a site called WeTip, Inc. Anonymous Crime Reporting Hotline - For A Safer America - anonymous "tattle-tell" program.
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” - Ben Franklin

That's exactly the point I've been making this whole time. It is counter-productive to gun owners to snub their noses at this reasonable request.
