Isn't it a fairly reasonable and consistent position to be in favor of armed professionals with a specific need to carry a weapon but opposed to everyone being able to carry a weapon around whenever they feel like it? The situation you mention is only a gotcha or a contradiction if you assume "gun control" means "nobody should ever have a gun for any reason", which I don't think is an actual view held by many people.
- rayiner 4y agoIt’s both consistent and reasonable. We had the same policy back in old country: the common people were disarmed, while wealthy people (like my family) had armed guards.
- JoeyBananas 4y agoWhat if the average Joe is the one who has some specific need to carry a weapon? Who will hire the armed professional to protect him after they defund the police? This line of reasoning is a contradiction because it leads to the conclusion "The average Joe should carry a gun."
