Why Support Unsafe Cops? (Gun Control)

No, because you didn’t make it clear and if I guessed at what you were saying but was wrong you’d start complaining that I was trying to put words into your mouth. It’s happened to me quite a bit in the past on these sorts of threads, and I’m not going to keep walking into rhetorical traps.

Which doesn’t explain why you would exempt a cop from safety laws. If they’re trained to use their guns in a legal and safe manner, wouldn’t they already be avoiding unsafe guns and storing their guns in a safe manner? If they’re already capable of being relied upon to be safe, then applying safety laws to them would cause no problems since it wouldn’t restrict them. Remember, we’re only talking about laws that restrict citizens purely in the name of safety here, and we’re not talking about on-duty cops, but just citizens with a particular day job.

But any personal guns he owns are still there, and in states with restrictive firearms laws cops generally have an easier time buying guns for personal use. Even suspended, he can use dangerously made saturday night specials, store guns in a manner considered unsafe, and in many states still legally carry concealed.
