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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
