I agree; if the police didn't have access to guns, they would have a much reduced ability to destroy people's homes. (Although given that they supposedly used a tank in this case, we might want to preemptively ban killdozers as well.)
Why not ban shoplifting too? Guns are already banned for use in a crime. If there is a gun ban, are criminals going to simply show up and turn in guns? We’ve banned heroin, but that hasn’t stopped it from being trafficked.
You're right, it would be a shame if the police had to face any sort of retaliation for blowing up people's houses. If we ban guns they can blow up everyone's house without fear!
Do the police face any retaliation from blowing up houses through guns? Is there any way to retaliate police violence without getting the death penalty?
That should be the duty of the courts, not vigilantes.
