There is no reason why citizens shouldn't be allowed to have the same defense capabilities as the police. When the citizens are allowed to be armed to the same extent as the state's goons, it helps prevent such things as the police rounding up everyone of any particular political group, race, or religion and executing or imprisoning them.
It happens, everyone always thinks it can't ever happen but it most definitely can, just ask history. The idea that preventing gun violence (this won't do that anyways), is a justification for disarming citizens is disturbing and we cannot prioritize imaginary safety over real freedom.
