“There are too many cases in which a person’s own weapon has been used against them.”

Better take guns away from the kops if they are so easily turned against the one carrying them.

"Name three."

I read where it happened to a police officer a few years ago. Ironic.

And these are just police who have been shot by their own weapons.

Its not just cops who have this happen.

I don’t argue that you disarm a citizen, but to claim that people don’t wind up getting shot by their own guns is laughable.

Even if it were true someone’s weapon had been used against them—so what?

What about the times it works successfully? What about cops who carry weapons. There HAVE been times when a cop’s gun has been taken and used on him or another. SHould they NOT carry weapons because life doesn’t always work the way we’d prefer it?

These people are idiots.
