Ask the Sheriff!

KeepAndBearArms.com -- Broward County Sheriff Ken Jenne has been "busted" for faking demonstrations on a CNN segment about "assault weapons." Misleading the public into thinking "firearms banned under a 1994 law are more powerful than similar, legal weapons," Jenne, who knows better, had a deputy deploy a select-fire AK-47 (not covered by the ’94 gun ban, but regulated by the 1934 National Firearms Act) for the cameras.
According to The Washington Times, "In the first of the two segments that aired Thursday, a Broward County detective fired the AK-47 in semiautomatic mode, and the camera showed bullets hitting a cinder-block target. The detective then fired a legal semiautomatic weapon, and CNN showed a cinder-block target with no apparent damage."
"Now," Sheriff Jenne said, "this is automatic."
The detective then fired on full-auto, obliterating the blocks.
One other big credibility problem per The Times: "On Friday, CNN admitted that the detective had not been firing at the cinder block" with the "legal" weapon! No wonder the "scary" gun, which uses identical ammunition, did so much more damage!
I have been told by a reliable source that pro-gun LEO deputies in Broward County say Sheriff Jenne doesn’t carry his own weapon, and is escorted by two bodyguards. Real law enforcement professionals in his department dismiss the reliability of crime statistics he uses to advance his political agenda and re-election campaigns.
Sheriff Jenne has an intriguing email address:

Can you think of anything you’d like to ask him?
Why not do so?
