Sigcurious, I think it is perfectly ok to say that government enforcers should not have access to better weaponry than the common citizenry.
I don't think that conflicts with the argument that says "if they have it, so should we." I think they go hand in hand, in a "what's good for the goose..." sort of way.
Since I don't see government giving up any of its means of force anytime soon, I also don't see the problem you predict as having any chance of arising.
