To answer your question as to WHY do they get to carry and YOU dont is because we have way too many COPsuckers in this country who think these assholes are "Heroes" and that its always "Just a few bad apples" and "What would we DO without them"? Ask Lavoy Finicum. I'm sure HE could've done without them. Until people wake up and see who these assholes ARE and what their TRUE function IS (protect the state at all costs) dont expect to see any change
