It’s a ridiculous argument, and it hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of passing.
The reason police would be exempt under the law is obvious and belies the inane postulation by the bill’s sponsors. Cops have to shoot at people, not circles, and that acclimation is critical to training for self-defense or the exemption wouldn’t exist. By exempting law enforcement, the sponsors have torpedoed their own argument.

Anyone - LEO or civilian - doesn't "shoot to kill". They shoot to live ! And any device/aid improving their odds of succeeding is beneficial. Any confrontation, (let alone a gun fight), is "high-stress" and repetitious training - made as realistic as possible - is one way to reduce "collateral damage" from missed shots.
These current clique of critics need to first submit to some serious handgun training - including time in the "shoot house" to see, first hand, what life is about. Paper is cheap, but for gun owners/users every shot is dear. They "own" it forever.
And how do you "ban" something anyone can create "on the spot" with minimal materials ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
