The current 'Gun control' push A cop's eye view

First, a word of explanation. The reason "gun control" is in quotes in the title and in this sentence is because, for a very long time, the prohibitionists have made it more about control of the general public than about controlling criminal misuse of lethal weapons. Of late, the prohibitionists have played their word-spin again, changing the name of their product to "firearms safety" and "firearms responsibility."
Um ... sorry. You'll have to look long and hard to find, among the ranks of the prohibitionists, anyone who has actually taught a firearms safety class. Since 1871, the leading firearms safety training entity in the United States and probably the world has been the National Rifle Association, an organization which has been venomously demonized by those who would now usurp all they've done to further the disarming of American citizens.

Whatever cops think, pro-gun or anti-self-defence, they should be subject to same gun control laws “civilians” are subject to; there should be no loop-holes for them.
That is why companies like mine do not recognize exemptions in firearms laws for law enforcement. If I can’t sell a gun to a private individual in your state, don’t ask me to sell it to LE or Government in that state. It’s not happening.
There’s a list of companies that are standing up to these loopholes for cops at www.thepoliceloophole.com. Please support these companies and urge companies not on the list to join up with these fine companies and stand strong against tyranny!
Good article.
