The mental gymnastics that the right go thru to make whatever work in their favor regarding guns knows no limit. Besides, the militarization of the police is in response to the number of guns in society along with police exceptionalism. Their lives are worth more than our lives, they get more body armor, more guns, more military-style gear, bigger budgets, etc.

Gun owners are perfectly fine letting the rest of society suffer death, tragedy, and suffering for their hobby.
