I want to believe that is true, but there are too many instances of police going into the homes of American gun owners illegally, or, even with a warrant, which is still illegal since the 2A prohibits any laws infringing on the preexisting right to bear arms, as conferred upon us by our Creator. They go to these homes and end up arresting or killing the gun owner, and sometimes other family members, and when the MSM reports on it, many Americans call the homeowner / gun owner crazy, radical, or call them out for not submitting to the police.
The fact is that most Americans have been brainwashed to believe police safety trumps citizen safety, and that just isn't true. Our founders were clear on that fact.
Maybe you would be in that very small percentage of people that actually stand up for their rights in the face of potentially losing their liberty, or, more seriously, their life. If so, I commend you, but I also guarantee that many people, including many from this forum, would condemn you and find all kinds of reasons to vilify you, rather than the government that ignored your rights, and the limits of their power granted by the Constitution.
There was a recent police killing of a homeowner / gun owner in Farmington, NM where they killed the homeowner, and shot his wife, even though they were at the wrong address. He came out with his gun ad they shot him dead. Not one of them were charged with the killing. If I recall, many from this forum condemned the victim, and sided with the police on it being a "good shoot".
I am a Veteran. That's my hill. And i think we are talking about slightly different things. Police doing their day to day job vs gun grabbing raids. Our system is far from perfect but the police need tools to do their job or what is the point. And i dont think we want what is the point because then crimes occurring that do not directly affect you life do not get handled. Im not here for a philosophical debate on policing. I generally support police.
2A & .gov intrusion into my house is 110% the hill I die on without batting an eye.
