Everyone involved except the first shooting victim, based on your post, was either a LEO or a BATFE agent.

Last time I checked the NRA wasn't fighting to allow LEO to carry weapons. Or are you arguing to take guns away from cops now too?

Hate the NRA so much you can't even read your own post before commenting?
