Rational? It's a relative thing. Being a gun owner makes one irrational in society. The irrationality is for basing one's knowledge on pure emotions after a cop gets shot. I see the mainstream media is so successful at this one, a good scapegoat case scenario.
Ratinal argument notwithstanding, a dead cop notwithstanding, the truth is cops do harass on orders of local prosecutor, to go after certain psychological profiles. They do not go after gangs as you'd wish, they go against people into accountability of government. And in this case there seem to have been a prior suspicious spat between this guy and cops. It's like wife beating, half of the time it's actualy the man getting beat, half of the time it's the cops squeezing a man arbitrarily socialy out of society as in a Warsaw Ghetto. Socialists perfectly know what they do when they constrain someone, because they attack the pyramid of needs they themselves depend on.
We are law enforcement, we are the DEA fighting everyday against crime and drug pushing (related to merchandize pushing and not serving), but, guess what, why is it that drug dealers, Libertarians and DEA cops find themselves together against that statement?
