Yep, all too true. Seven times now I've taken that oath now; twice as a cop.
But of course, in the long run, it may not matter: if the second amendment, or any other portion of the constitution is *waived*, *reinterpreted,* *suspended,* or in any other way rendered meaningless and moot by those who are first to be governed by it, then the entire document is moot, null and voided. And thereby the constitution that sworn officers is the basis for their sworn oath to preserve, protect and defend it is just as meaningless, and that consatitution, the source of the laws and rightful authority derived therefrom is equally null and void- they are police no longer, though they may have pretty uniforms to rival those of any bananna republics goons and thugs.
And at that point, it's quite literally *every man and woman for themselves.*

Sounds like the situation in Kalifornia since the state Supreme Court has ruled that Kalifornians don't have a right to keep and bear arms.
