There are most likely a very few fanatics who would not want police armed but not many gun control advocates feel that way.
To me, I do not see a reason to own a gun. However, if someone wants one, go right ahead and get one. Know how to use it safely and follow the laws.

Of the millions of us tha own mutli milions of guns that is exactly what 99% of us do. But that is not what the special interest, political and anti gun fanatics want to be center stage.
And I do not think the NRA influence or not, what ever it is or isn't.....is not as big of a problem as those who do not not right to privacy invaded (wackos, mentally ill, criminals, etc.), the special interest groups do not want anybody singled out or profiled, the permissive crowd does not want to pick on anybody that is doing their thing, and we certainly cannot profile by color, religion or what ever even if that made a big difference in the problem.
The permissive don't upset anybody society is the major impediment and the politicians and the media make it even worse.
It ain't the guns or the 99% who own them responsibly!
