A law enforcement officer is far more likely than a member of the general public to look down the barrel of an AK-47 whenever they serve a warrant, stop a suspicious vehicle on I-80, or respond to a domestic disturbance."

Talk about an absolutely meaningless statistic that someone pulled out of a dark place...

a LEO is far more likely to eat their own gun than a civilian.

WIFE: "If you are going to threaten me and abuse me, just make sure you don't go out and try and buy an AK47, Okay?"

HUSBAND: "O.K. dear, when I come back tonight and to beat and rape you, I'll make sure I'm not breaking the law and using an illegal weapon. I wouldn't want to point that at the the cops when they show up to confront me. That would be illegal and they may throw me in jail."
