Caldara: Gun laws should apply equally to police Posted on June 17, 2020 Caldara: Gun laws should apply equally to police So, police are better able to defend themselves than the citizens they serve. It turns police into the “other,” an elite with special privileges, special rights we don’t have. It separates them from us. Some call it militarizing the police.Play this out over decades and you see the police living a very different life, with less in common with regular people.The Colorado legislature should make sure police and the people live by the same laws, including guns. Remove the restrictions on regular people or put them on cops too.They won’t because the police carve-out is a key strategy of their anti-gun agenda.Some people are more equal than others.
