Disarming Off-Duty Cops

The National Football League has told off-duty cops they can’t carry their guns into Vikings games, thus rendering them useless in case of trouble during the game. But the LAW supercedes that order, since cops are considered to be “on duty” 24 hours a day just in case trouble arises where they are, “on duty” or not. Trying to disarm cops is sheer abysmal STUPIDITY. What are they going to do? Randomly shoot people at the ball game after slugging a few beers? Sounds more like the “average” football fan, to me. Not a cop, who is trained in the use of guns and cautioned against irresponsible use of them. The “war against guns” is growing, folks; even though politicians have LOST most of the battles. Outfits like NFL keep trying to “get around” the Constitution my making rules where they can to BAN guns, claiming that since they aren’t the government, the constitutional prohibition to banning guns does not apply to them. But it does, no matter how much they whine otherwise. A football stadium might be considered private property, but I don’t know of a single one that was NOT built with taxpayer money. That makes the Constitution apply. (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
