Counterargument: in a nation with over 300 million guns, this situation won't continue indefinitely, in spite of what cops think.
Lookup the history of gun control in the US. Now look at how cops react to white people with guns vs black people with guns. The cops would happily use the presence of guns as an excuse to commit massacres.
Cops are also outnumbered by armed civilians by about 100,000 to 1.
that doesn't matter when they roll the national guard and start dropping bombs (which, btw, has happened before)
