Most American’s are supporters of law and order. They want to know that while they are just going about their business they can feel safe and the streets. Every organization has bad apples and some city councilmen are calling for the defunding and dismantling of the police especially in Minneapolis Minnesota. If you’re going to dismantle the police any new gun control bill is dead on arrival and it may lead the way to loosen some of the current restrictions on carrying a firearm in public spaces.
For fans of legal restrictions on self-defense rights, 2020 is a disaster. It provides continuing evidence that to push gun control proposals is to advocate that the likes of Derek Chauvin—the Minneapolis cop who killed George Floyd—should be armed, while the communities they terrorize should be helpless. It is also to insist that when police fail at their supposedly core task of protecting the public, people should be deprived of the means for defending themselves. As many Americans lose faith in law enforcement and do what’s necessary to shield lives and property, it’s unlikely that they’ll be an enthusiastic audience for future disarmament schemes that would make those of us who don’t work for government even more vulnerable to those who do.
Back in January, prominent gun control advocate and then-presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg responded to reports that an armed church security guard stopped a would-be mass murderer by sniffing that such behavior is inappropriate.
Now is the BEST time to talk about gun control.

Just called the police because there was just a dangerous standoff between my neighbor and some protestors and got the response: "Sir, the city is under attack. Do what you have to do." And they hung up. Did that really just happen?

The MSNBC reporter is so anti-law enforcement he can’t even say they are burning buildings as everything goes up in flames in the background.
