While they may oppose existing laws, existing laws exist, and are still enforceable. As for police being 2A nuts themselves, some of them, but unsurprisingly most are “rules for thee not for me” types and are also the exact people who will “come and take it.” They currently do enforce those laws, just not well, so I’d argue that proves they won’t “not enforce” because they’re “2a nuts.” More likely they’d “selectively enforce” because they’re “racist” which reflects the reality we see in America today.

Furthermore, Warren v DC, Castle Rock v Gonzales, and a few other cases have made it clear that they have no obligation to protect nor serve, and so we’re left with having to protect ourselves. That and the spread out nature of our unwalkable cities puts the national average response time to emergencies at 11min (30+ for rural, about 5min for most cities, total avg is 11min), that is from the time you call, not from the time the crime starts and usually you can’t say “hold on, violent person, let me just use this phone to call the authorities before we begin assaulting me” as they usually won’t acquiesce that request, but you can learn the standard for self defense and hit him with the OC spray (if non-deadly force) or the 9mm (if deadly force) in “as quick as you can get it out.” Sometimes if he has the drop on you you have to wait to surreptitiously draw, but that is still “in the moment” not after he gets away and pray for camera footage, if I’m even still breathing.
