I’d probably be one of those people.

We live in a country in which the part of police power that is respected is their ability to use a firearm.

Right, but that’s why the gun culture circularity is so damaging. At some point you have to step outside the self-reinforcing structure of “having a gun means having power, therefore powerful people have guns, therefore I must have a gun…”

One way to do that is to recognize that many police officers can do their jobs perfectly well, and maintain order, without a gun.
