There is no single group more responsible for stymying the progress on restoring our 2A rights at the state level, in every single state, than the cop lobby.
Republican legislators don't give a crap about the Everytown Mom's Demand Action nutcases. They do, however, bend over backwards to lick the boots of any LEO group that comes to them with "concerns" over constitutional carry bills and the like, and that is how the good bills stall and fail time after time after time. The LEO groups provide the single source of cover for the RINOs to vote against your rights, in exchange for the promise of ever-increasing funding; it is a disgusting symbiotic relationship.
Tennessee, a state with Republican supermajorities and a Republican governor, still can't get proper constitutional carry because "muh law enforcement testified that it will hurt officer safety". We in NC most likely would have had a PPP repeal a decade or more ago if the cop lobby had not existed.
And if these "good cops", that everyone likes to remind us of all the time, truly comprised the majority of cops, then their unions and lobbyists would be actively pushing for our rights and not against them. In NC, we have force-backed GFZ signs, no college campus carry, no K-12 carry or teacher guardian program, no permitless concealed carry, mandatory disclosure laws, a 0.0 BAC law, a no carry in a parade/protest law, and numerous other assaults on our 2A rights. Has the police lobby ever come out against any of that garbage? Or have they quietly pushed for the passage and protection of these disgusting policies?
