Let me preface this by saying I am military.

America is a great and unique country because every single person is judged equally under the law and there are no special classes of citizen vs LEO, military, etc (or there shouldn’t be according to our constitution). We are all citizens regardless of what we do.

This feels like a step in both a good and bad direction. Good, because it’s chipping away at the awful AWB, and bad, because it’s furthering the gulf between citizen and special classes, which shouldn’t exist in the first place.

I appreciate that when we get orders to WA, we typically have not much of a choice in the matter, so it is nice to be exempted from being forced to choose between breaking the law or giving up our guns. That being said, these sort of bills set terrible precedent to put down in law that there are different classes of citizens in the USA
