Yup, but who knows how the chief really feels. It could be the chief is toeing the line to hold onto his job; or maybe, as you implied, he was selected because he best represents the politics of the city council, and further down the line, the citizens of Worcester.

It's funny about gun laws though, people up here are very afraid of citizens being armed. I even know conservative republican types who are anti-gun. To me they're RINOS. It makes no sense because you can't just pick and choose the laws in the constitution that you agree with, that's what progressives do. To me it's all or nothing.
