A big part of the anti-gun mentality has been the "Police or Military Only" mantra, or, what I like to call the "Statist" attitude-the idea that those in government are a superior caste to us mere mortals-helots, perhaps. I have never been an LEO nor a government employee, I do know the Army I served in 1967-1971 did a very poor job of firearms training and regarding such training as an intrusion that could be easily dealt with via the old M-1 Pencil
and small arms were seen as an annoyance and a PITB, the firearms aficionado was derided as a "nut".
