Not surrounding me. I favor background checks in all transfers (sale or gift) accept between direct family members and believe rifles have no place on the streets, yet you should be able to have any weapon you choose on your property to protect yourself and your family also should be able to hunt game with anything acceptable to the regulators in your state. That does not infringe. It is just well regulated.
But you're cool with cops having full auto assault rifles to protect your white elites at the Capitol.
I'm cool with police tac squads having full auto weapons and definitely cool with National Guard troops having their issue weapons. Why? Aren't you? I know a bunch of former military (now civilians) that have or have had full auto weapons. Of course in my circles, those people don't carry them on the streets or use them in crime.

I'm not.
If the government says that a firearm or anything is banned from civilian use then that same ban should apply to all law enforcement and other civilian agencies too. If they can have it then I can have it.
If it's only meant for the military then the only ones who should have access to them are the military.
*****SMILE*****
Not like every cop car has a full auto weapon at it's disposal and I just don't come across that many that do. I do believe that in an encounter with an armed criminal suspect ( I think of them as "enemy"), the cops should have access to overwhelming firepower. Same kind of advantage preferred by military, whether you have it or not. I do not have many interactions and never as a criminal suspect, but am equally armed in general. House is different. Better armed unless they go batsh#t crazy and come to wrong address. Glad many cities moving to ban no-knock. Anybody breaking in, in the night is a fair target threat, to be sorted out after that type of encounter. Inside my home, shoot first and ask questions later is valid and justifiable under the laws of my state.
Not true.
All cop cars do have select fire, full auto rifles.
And the advantage we should want cops to have is NOT military at all, but being able to radio in for superior NUMBERS.
We do NOT want police to be able to escalate our cities into war zones.
But I agree we must end "no-knock warrants", except in the case of kidnappings or where there is a likely hostage situation.
Really? I had no idea. You think that is true even here in Tennessee? Have not seen them mounted to the dash like shot guns, but you could be correct. Police having full automatic weapons does not really bother me. They sometimes make multiple bullet holes but mostly by emptying full magazines through their Glock.
Police get the surplus from the military.
First it was Vietnam, then Desert Storm, then Iraq and Afghanistan.
They get them for free.
Along with armored personnel carriers, night vision, etc.
The military is constantly upgrading and producing surplus they don't know what to do with.
Police don't use them very often, so they usually are locked in cases in the trunks.
And since they don't use them very often, they do not bother me that much either.
It is emptying Glock magazines on unarmed people that bother me.
So the problem is we have stopped taking care of ourselves, and want police to take care of us for us.
And since that not only is impossible, but very dangerous, we have produced a deadly police force, that is being trained as killers.
We actually have created the greatest threat we face, ourselves.
It is just a matter of time before the police turn this into the 4th Reich.
And no one will even notice.
It likely already happened.
Between the plandemic and crazy mass shooters, don't you think you should be under your bed just now? Oh, and there are about 100 million of us "whack-jobs". Now THAT'S an "inconvenient truth"
