So let me get this straight...
"The average person shouldn't be allowed to have an AR-15. Normal people don't need them! They're dangerous! People can't be trusted!"
HOWEVER, if that very same "average person" applies for a job where he will work as a hired thug for politicians, THEN suddenly that same person is trustworthy, and THEN he needs such weapons... and in fact, then he should be hired to use such weapons to forcibly take such weapons from all the other "average people"--the ones who HAVEN'T volunteered to act as thugs for the state.

In my country we say - thug, henchmen, minion. For those who blindly acts as a sheep if authority dictates them so.
proficient use of an AR-15 should be a requirement to vote.
That's correct. The government and military is made up of "average people". Let's put away our perceptions of false authority figures and remove them from their pedestals. They are no more powerful and have no more natural rights than you or I.
As @maxigan said in closing: "if a Government, any Government, as corrupt as the ones that hold power in the world today, with police as heavily armed and as brutal as those we see today - most especially in the United States, seeks to ban firearms, say: No problem - You first."
