It’s a ridiculous argument, and it hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of passing.
The reason police would be exempt under the law is obvious and belies the inane postulation by the bill’s sponsors. Cops have to shoot at people, not circles, and that acclimation is critical to training for self-defense or the exemption wouldn’t exist. By exempting law enforcement, the sponsors have torpedoed their own argument.

Anyone - LEO or civilian - doesn't "shoot to kill". They shoot to live ! And any device/aid improving their odds of succeeding is beneficial. Any confrontation, (let alone a gun fight), is "high-stress" and repetitious training - made as realistic as possible - is one way to reduce "collateral damage" from missed shots.
These current clique of critics need to first submit to some serious handgun training - including time in the "shoot house" to see, first hand, what life is about. Paper is cheap, but for gun owners/users every shot is dear. They "own" it forever.
And how do you "ban" something anyone can create "on the spot" with minimal materials ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
