He's not justifying it, just stating the history.
It is only logical therefore that, in the period where the public await the arrival of the police, the best weapons for them to protect themselves with are those the police would be bringing.
Except the stats say otherwise: you are 2.7 times more likely to be killed in a homicide if you have a gun in your home than if you do not.

I can simply because I can.
And "everyone" doesn't have to or want to own a firearm.
That is the beauty of the right guarenteed me and every other American citizen by the founding document of our nation.
Post hoc justification on the basis of the constitution. As I said, that's not a reason.
