Attempting to disarm the police, many of whom are military vets and retain connections with former and current service members, sounds like what would provoke a full on Praetorian Revolt. Like, if there is one group that is conditioned, practiced, organized and trained to resist any attempts at disarmament and could probably succeed, it would be Law Enforcement Agencies.Statement: police shootings are a direct result of America's toxic gun culture, it'd likely be in everyone's best interest to disarm the majority of cops, like the Brits or ala Barney Fife
followup statement: the pro gun folks want to be the only one with guns as they think that makes them strong, so let them, and watch them push for a blanket ban when cops move to ambush take downs with marksman to drop anyone starting shit with a gun. Basically first responders, just like staff in a prison should not be armed. When we know what the hell is happening, then people who's only job, just like a gun is to kill, do what they're paid for
thoughts? pros. cons?
That would just make things worse. And we regularly condone shooting to kill people with knives, and unarmed shooting victims need a total lack of nonpresent surveillance to get much sympathy if they are involved in a brawl with cops and get shot. So uh, yeah. Disarm the ATF maybe. Force them to rely on the help of State and Local agencies and maybe FBI. Everybody hates those fuckups and their shitty culture.
