Every police institution in this country should be pro 2A. Not only simply pro 2A but actively advocating for it all the time. Why? Because armed citizens are not targets for criminals. It's as simple as that. There is no complicated argument here.
All these chiefs and cops who come out in these big cities and talk about the dangers of gun ownership and promoting buy back programs from law abiding citizens should be fired and jailed for treason.
If I'm carrying in a town, city or state where everyone else or many, many people are carrying and have loaded firearms in the house, criminals aren't gonna fuck with me nor am I gonna fuck with some random over say road rage or nonsense squabbles. Everyone will understand the risk.
Even the most daring criminal will think twice.
Now, I know the argument that people immediately bring to the table; "cIty FunDed PolICe Can'T"...blah blah blah
Nonsense. Cities would rot without police as we have witnessed over the last two years especially.
So why aren't ALL unions and active members advocating for 2A all the time and putting pressure on mayors, councils, counties, governors etc?
Because the vast majority of them would be without jobs.
Crime would plummet and the vast majority of these guys would be unemployable outside of waving their badge around and making sure citizens aren't able to defend themselves by "doin muh job" (taking orders to disarm citizens in crime infested areas)
Police have so much power over rights in this country yet they cower all the time and allow tyrants to implement unconstitutional policies by complying with the order rather than stepping aside and refusing.
The above is why I have zero respect for policing as an institution. While citizens sacrifice to resist tyranny, they allow tyranny to dig deeper and use the excuse of "muh job".
Until we sort that situation out, the police state will continue to ram ahead. And don't get it twisted either. There will be no invasion of the US. IF that day comes, the enemy will be wearing a badge and lives down the street from you.
Remember, cops need criminals, that’s what justifies their existence. Also remember, criminals are scary and dangerous. It’s much safer to bully law abiding citizens. Screw the blue
