There were 10,360 DUI fatalities in 2022. Most committed by licensed drivers who were not obeying the law and killed innocent people. Yes law enforcement officers are entitled to carry weapons for their own defense since gun ownership is so loosely regulated and we have empowered them to act as our agents in enforcing laws. Every Rob, Dick, & Harry and drink driver may be armed and not in full control of their faculties.
I must have missed the rest of your answer. Silly me.
Not in full control of faculties ? That sounds horrible!!
So, are you saying it's not the license that makes people safe, it's obeying the law that keeps us safe from gun violence?
Okay if I was a peaceful weed grower, unlicensed, perhaps even breaking some silly law, you'd be okay with law enforcement officers coming and "protecting themselves" by shooting my dog, stealing all my plants and putting me in a cage? IF I had obeyed the law, I would have been safe, ahhh, now I get it, you've completely convinced me that responsible gun ownership means attacking people who aren't attacking you.
If we just obey the law, we won't get shot. I wish I had thought of that.
