Be careful what you wish for. It takes only one corrupt white police officer to mow down a young African American male, looking suspiciously ..... black.  Now image a society where only the police officers are allowed to have guns. That scares me more than any deranged gunman in Vegas. It is too much power to avoid eventual oppression of the masses.  And it will likely begin with the least powerful among us. So  begrudgingly, I will keep my gun and pray that I will never need it.
