    A lot of these areas have much more stringent gun laws. Yes, they can own the guns, but they can’t carry them. Carrying/displaying will probably get them arrested and charged with a weapons felony.

    I’m usually told we’ve moved beyond the need for people to do that. Then we should just leave the use of force to the police: The organizations that consistently seem to try to prove we can’t trust them. I agree, the police should be an organization Americans can trust: How can we make them that way?

    Does anyone see the irony?

    • U.S. conservatives “trust” the police, but still want civilians to be armed.
    • U.S. “leftists” distrust the police, but want them to be the only ones armed.

    The U.S. never fixed their trust issues with police. So this seems like the logical result.
