Who do you want to have access to more powerful guns: cops or equally trained citizens?

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes]

Technically, this is the same exact question I asked in this previous poll from 2021. However, I have slightly re-worded the question and answers to better clarify my meaning to avoid misunderstandings.

Keep in mind, any is more than none. So voting for wanting group X to have more access than group Y doesn't mean you want group Y to have any access.

Likewise, zero equals zero, so if you don't want either to have access to any guns at all no matter how well trained they are and no matter what the qualifications (e.g. background checks, mental health exams, etc.), then you would want to choose the equality option.

When answering do consider all the different kinds of guns, such as non-lethal bean bag guns all the way up to fully automatic machine guns that can hold and rapidly fire hundreds of rounds. In between, you might find some kind of collectible barely functioning 18th century musket or a bird hunting gun. So there's huge variation here.

I choose the equality option. I choose that because of the same reasons I explained in the previous topic about it.
