I'll stand behind you on those comments. Had a long on-line conversation with a cop on a car board, and he's got those same "civilians shouldn't be carrying" attitudes. This from a guy who trumpets that he is "ticketproof", so the superior rights for cops attitude shows through again and again in this particular rank-and-filer. It isn't just the big city chiefs.

Robert A. Heinlein had it nailed:
"In any sufficiently advanced society, civil servant is semantically equal to civil *master*."

Obviously you have something against the police. Do you think they make these laws? Or do you believe that they should not enforce these laws that they swore to uphold?

Maybe it’s some kind of class envy everyone or no one? How about convicted felons or illegal aliens should they be part of the everyone?

I was once ordered by the the city I worked for to tell citizens if asked the question, Should I buy a gun, “NO guns are unsafe to have around the home and you are more likely to shoot a member of your family then a burglar.” So when asked that question I would answer, “I have been ordered to tell you, NO guns are unsafe to have around the home and you are more likely to shoot a member of your family then a burglar. Then I would say, “I have a number of guns in my home and every member of my family can shoot them well.”

Street cops have a greater percentage of NRA members then the public and most police range masters are NRA trained. Your gripe is with the chiefs and city management and your legislators not the rank and file cops. The street cop can not make decisions on the constitutionality of the laws he is sworn to enforce or your system of justice will begin to fall apart for that action in itself would be unconstitutional and lead to confusion amongst the governed.
