But, but... {tyrannical pro-criminal safety advocacy here}!
His response last time I used this argument was "The police aren't there to protect you, they enforce the law. You want protection, call the national guard".
That actually makes sense, but with a darker meaning, given Warren v DC and all the "police aren't required to protect anyone at all" cases. Police can and often do choose to enforce undeniably (unless you love dancing in blood) unconstitutional laws such as "gun control" that does nothing but keep criminals alive and well and innocent victims defenseless to be murdered, raped, and maimed with impunity.
The National Guard was called out to provide protection during the last major civil rights struggle, integration/desegregation. I hope they do the same to put tyrannical evil fucks like Bloomberg, Booker, Emmanuel etc... in their constitutional place, when they inevitably end up in contempt of SCOTUS and surround themselves with their respective jurisdictions' almost universally tyrannical police brass, a few tyrannical line officers, and heavy weaponry to resist the US Marshals serving the arrest warrants.
