Snowflakes in Hell

Ace will tell you.  Once you get below the folks who are political appointees, cops tend to be pretty strong supporters of the right to keep a firearm for self-defense.  Police confront the worst humanity has to offer on a regular basis in the course of their jobs.  They know better than your average upper middle class voter exactly what these kinds of people are capable of, and know they have about as much respect for the law as they do the communities they terrorize.
