I like that. Why should the police (the governmental group most likely to have an immediate adverse on civil rights) have a quality of weapons that the citizens can't have?

I can understand why civilians should not have the same level of weapons that the military has. But the police?

It is more likely that a police force will be used to subjugate the people than a military.
