    Such a weird way to sue against this law. What kind of equal protection defense could you wage?

      Because why should a retired police officer be allowed to own a weapon that nobody else can? It only makes sense because otherwise they’d lose the support of law enforcement.

      Either everyone should be able to own them, or nobody.
