"And they've also told me "It's only the police upper echelons who are anti-gun""

Police officers are by nature NOT rebellious. They may be the nicest people in the world at home but they WILL follow orders. If the chief says "break in that house we'll get a warrant later" they'll do it without any compunctions. They'll shoot your pets, your family and tear your house to pieces. They'll confiscate everything you own for a bag of cannabis and call it justice. The authoritarian, police mentality is ingrained in our society.

The police...They'll shoot your pets, your family and tear your house to pieces. They'll confiscate everything you own for a bag of cannabis and call it justice. The authoritarian, police mentality is ingrained in our society.

Then I'd say they're part of the problem.
