So. You post the story of some North Carolina police officer supporting gun rights and it is a-okay. I post a response about how "sure that might be true, but there are also police organizations that support restrictions on gun rights" and that isn't okay because they are police officers?

Sure, they are entitled to their own opinions, and I'm sure they are well intended. I've been trying to find the sample data to see who and how many took the survey. Yes, there are some that may be from urban areas mostly I would imagine; probably some from Chicago (with the strictest gun laws in the country and one of the highest crime and murder rates per ca pita of any city in the country) who support this type of control. However, look at this link, and you will see some of the same organizations listed in that "support" as are partners here:
