Gun Control Reform Activism

You would really rather let every eligible person in new york who wants to have an assault rifle be able to have one, yet here you argue on a whim that retired new york cops, some having spent careers in LE, be denied because the general law disallows other new yorkers from having one. What you deem a double standard really isn't, since the law disallows youthful boozers or immature hotheads who want an ak47 cause it's 'neat to shoot so fast', from getting one, and just about any other dimwitted wannabe gunnut, while allowing a small previously tested group of excops to have them.
No, not all NY cops are fair & square, but they're more fair & square than the large majority of the american public.
(And personally I don't really care whether excops could have them or not)
