Or how to reinforce an "us" versus "them" psychology. A fair number of my friends are or were members of the NYPD or other LEOs, had that attitude and were hoplophobes.

I guess I better not repeat my class motto , some are mere tag lines blown out of proportion IMO........:o)

Just as any human endeavor we have good and bad in all professions. The solution is not available nor suggested. Take responsibility for your own security 24/7 or just wait till your victimized. Prevention, not a solution, per my opinion and experience is treat others like you wish too be treated with respect and courtesy and stay within the lines set by laws, rules and limits when in public and play hard in arenas where such is encouraged.

If I don’t like the law my beef isn’t with the LEO or FLEA on the street in a reactionary mode it is with the polidiots and their handlers that voted for such crap in a proactive manner.

A traffic stop or a field interview is no where to argue policy or law because there will always be ONE winner in that contest at that place and time. Granted a civil or criminal court solves such encounters at a later date but aggression or comments at the scene do little for the “suspect”.

I have been on both ends of that spear and it is ugly from either. My best efforts are to be small in public and loud and clear in the voting booth , in written correspondence to my polidiots and presstitutes and dollars to support pro constitutional efforts to preserve our beloved republic......

Just my opinion of course.

Stay safe and hope ya had a Merry Christmas !~

Hoplophobe. Now that’s a good word you don’t hear often enough. Or too often, depending on your perspective.
