Maybe the NRA Should Disregard Police Officers...

In light of what has happened to me over the past year and a half, I came to the conclusion that the NRA should disregard police officer and retiree memberships. My reasoning is a simple conflict of interest. The police are an organization of their own with plenty of places to conduct firearms training. The police represent and uphold the law, in all actuality they are an institutional organization to take rights from citizens violating the law while the NRA is a standing militia "devoted to defending constitutional rights." This is true otherwise, what are the firearms for? What do you think?
