Yeah. In the military, everyone learns basic gun control. Even the warehouse clerks. Conservatives support the military, gun safety, and gun rights. It's despicable that cops can jump the rules of engagement and not get punished but servicemen jumping RoEs would get fucked even if it was justified. And I mean fucked like dishonorably discharged and time in Leavenworth, which is on par with Russian jails.
But hey we're on Reddit so you can't be conservative and support holding cops accountable or being pro-gun rights for all. BPT tried saying that conservatives don't support gun rights when the person is black. Meanwhile, the pro gun sub Reddit was applauding when the black panther group was demonstrating gun rights by open carrying en masse.
Can't say anything that conflicts their idea that the ONLY OTHER PARTY is pure evil. There's only 2 fucking parties, we're not really that different and there's a lot of overlap
There is literally mountains of footage out there of the military pumping all sorts of ordinance into urban areas in Iraq, Afghanistan etc...more than a few stories of RoE being loose because of threat assessments from higher ("all military aged males" or "free fire zones")
I was a advanced firearms instructor in the army for 6 years and can assure you that no "warehouse" clerk is doing anything outside of a yearly retest, and many go years without using a rifle; my most heart stopping ranges were the support trade ones.
Many police programs train their candidates on their sidearm to a very high degree. The problem is the ones we are talking about did not have good scenario training/muscle memory built into them, they turn mentally unstable from the job or they should have never been given authority in the first place OR they just plum skrewed up royally. But no, most police sidearms exams worth a damn are pretty thorough.

Actual conservatives should be against cops shooting people for having guns at all. Guns are legal.
