If you've been around for awhile, you know what I'm talking about. You see it here. Some (not all) police and "law and order at any cost" types advocating things like no-knock raids for drugs, Full auto bans, banning AP ammo, etc, in order to make the job of being a cop safer.
So what say you: Is it alright to ignore the constitution if it makes a cop's job safer? Would the founding fathers be ok with that?
How about if it makes anyone's job safer? Can we just ban anything we want in order to ensure safety, or are the police the only ones who deserve that level of protection?
Should we outlaw matches the ability to store flammable materials in your home, because it would make firefighters safer? You know, there may be a 'right to keep and bear arms', but there's no right to "keep and store paint thinner" in the constitution!
