Convenience. It’s lighter than a police officer, and I don’t have to buy dounuts.
While peace officers do sometimes run into bad guys on the streets, their primary role is to draw little chalk lines around victims of bad guys.
One category should have been....In case the State Militia is called up.

I do not believe that states should ignore federal gun laws that are constitutional. However, states have a moral obligation to ignore all unconstitutional federal laws, whether or not the Supreme Court steps up to overturn those unconstitutional laws. The people are the ultimate source of government power and thus the ultimate authority on when the government has overstepped its bounds, even if the Court fails in its duty.
She constantly worried that someone would break in and attack her with one of her own knives.
When I met her mother I instantly learned the root of the problem, the whole family is nuts.
Her niece was fired from a local fast food chain after I jokingly told her that tomatoes scream silently when you cut them. She walked into work the next day and refused to slice the tomatoes.
She was out in the street in a New Jersey heartbeat!
It was inevitable. It’s the only reason for large capacity magazines.
I own a shotgun and a .45ACP for protection. I own a .22 pistol and .22 rifle for target shooting. As for anything else that I may own, centerfire rifles are because the Second Amendment has a purpose, which is neither hunting nor putting holes in paper targets.
Two-thirds (66%) of those who live in households that do not have guns say stricter gun laws would reduce the number of deaths in mass shootings, compared with just 35% of gun owners.
How smart do you have to be before you can comprehend criminals break laws?
I consider my firearms as protection from the government.
Not very smart - just a little smarter than a liberal.
“Oh, how absurd! There’s absolutely no reason to be afraid of the government!”

My answer: “none of your business.” Next question?
“I do not believe that states should ignore federal gun laws that are constitutional.”
Do you mean laws that are constitutional? Or laws that the Supreme Court has ruled are constitutional?
There’s a big difference. The Constitution does not say that Supreme Court rulings on constitutionality are final. In fact, most of the founders regarded state decision as to constitutionality in this regard as an important check on the power of the feds.
Indeed - most leftists, being humanists, ascribe to the “no objective truth” worldview, which translates into “the truth is whatever those with power say it is”.
That's why I said, "However, states have a moral obligation to ignore all unconstitutional federal laws, whether or not the Supreme Court steps up to overturn those unconstitutional laws." The states and the people are the final arbiters of Constitutionality and the fundamental source of governmental power. We agree.
In that case, they should look at the fact that decent Americans now have at least 70 million more firearms than we had when Obama took office. They will have to accept the truth that we are free because we have the power to insist upon that freedom.
