If a cop pistol whips his wife he loses his job and personal gun.

If a soldier commits war crimes he is charged and punished. (unless he's a republican president.)

Nobody wants to take away the fucking guns unless you happen to be a convicted felon, a domestic abuser, adjudicated a danger to yourself or others.

Let me type this real slow, NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE AWAY THE GODDAMN GUNS.
