The godlike capability of a law enforcement office to transform a firearm into a tool for fighting crime is always impressive to liberals. Firearms aren't safe in the hands of untrained civilians. It takes special training to handle them correctly. Of course, this flies in the face of logic when an untrained criminal picks up a gun and successfully employs it to commit a crime. I guess being a criminal confers special skills too.

Likewise the firearm is a killing machine in the hands of a CCW-holder who may have carried a weapon for 15 years, who practices weekly with 100s of rounds, and who may have taught an NRA gun-safety class, but the same firearm is an effective tool to fight crime in the hands of a police officer who just yesterday graduated a 6-week training course and who may only fire his mandatory 8-shots of minimum qualification rounds once a year. Amazing.
