I'm fully aware of the legal argument. Believe me. It is a head scratcher.
I wasn't suggesting you weren't aware of it - I was just expanding on the discussion. This unequal treatment just really pisses me off, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why the General Assembly decided to include the exception. If the law was enacted to keep "dangerous weapons" off the streets and out of citizens' hands, and if former LEOs are just regular old citizens, then there is zero basis for the exception. I would understand if the law permitted a former LEO to receive a banned rifle that he/she acquired, or that was acquired for him/her, while he/she was employed as a LEO, but a general right to purchase whenever and wherever is just fundamentally unfair to you and me.
