Why Cops Carry Guns

And why everybody should be able to do so also. They carry guns because they realize that criminals carry guns, and use them on the cops every day. So they want to be able to defend themselves. Okay, I'll buy that. But why aren't we allowed the same right to self defense that they enjoy? It galls me to hear about yet another anti-gun politician like Senator Feinstein tell me I can't have a gun to use in defending myself, because I might "go nuts" and use it on someone for a trivial reason while going around, surrounded by ARMED "security" and carrying her own gun, just in case they aren't enough to keep her safe. And she isn't the only anti-gun politician to go around with armed security. they all realize that they can be in danger by people who hate their policies, but they reject the idea that the average American might need the same protection, but can't afford to hire a bunch of armed thugs for defense. The answer is allowing them to carry their own gun so they can defend themselves. Why do they reject that idea? Because they can. They have to POWER to deny us the same level of self defense they have. (Just common sense)
