Point 1: Good point. I don't want cops assigned to neighborhood patrols or traffic duty armed with an AR-15. I'm still on the fence about whether cops assigned to any non-tactical duty should be unarmed or armed only with a revolver.
Point 2: I think "assault weapon" bans are a bad idea and the term "assault weapon" is meaningless. I'm thinking, other than import/export restrictions, there should be no federal drug laws. If a state deregulates pot, the feds have no voice.
Point 3: If the feds would stop fighting a major war on drugs in multiple countries, maybe they wouldn't need to depend on the local PD and the county sheriff to do them favors and do their job for them. Local law enforcement isn't really trained for that work.
Registration: I don't believe in registration. TRO and other red flag subjects should have 24 hours to surrender restricted weapons or be charged appropriately when/if found in possession. I don't believe in federal red flag laws. Red flag laws should be at the state level.
