    You can keep and bare arms…but you can’t point them at people. Cops or otherwise. First rule of owning a gun is you do not point the gun at anything unless you intend for it to die.

    And also, with how many nut jobs are in this country, I’m thinking maybe we should revise the second amendment, or remove it completely.

    You know how many public shootings Ireland had last time I looked? 13. In a year. And that included cops using their weapons. 13 total. Drunkest country on earth, but they got their shit together on guns.
