Cops in America don’t need guns for 90% of the stuff they do, no matter how armed the population is. They’re the actual nutjobs with guns. They’re the ones killing people over getting talked smack back or over a fucking wallet. And even if cops started getting killed from not having guns, so what? THEIR JOB is to sacrifice themselves for the public good. They can just have SWAT at the ready and have unarmed cops do almost everything. You don’t need a fucking gun to radar cars in the highway, write tickets, go to someone’s burgled house to take a note they’ll eventually lose, or bother someone over the position of their stereo knob.
What’s your point exactly? Why the fuck are you talking about cops? The simple proposition being discussed is “it would be better if there were fewer guns”. I never said there should be a special exemption for cops. No one mentioned cops until you did.
There are 470 million guns in the US. This conversation is a non-starter. You are not putting that ketchup back in the bottle. Not without causing millions of deaths. It would be exactly what ICE is doing, except everyone’s got guns.
