I am also a leftist gun nut, and Breonna Taylor proved they can already storm your home, and since they assume every citizen is armed they storm accordingly with common entry tactics. Charge the door, throw ordnance (flash bangs in her case), scream conflicting commands and then shoot anything that moves.

I’m still a big proponent of an armed citizenry, the first gun control laws came about in California from a very frightened Reagan after the Black Panthers exercised their 2nd amendment rights.

Guns however will never de-escalate a situation trust me. They can end a situation due to an over abundance of force.
