here in Denver, all kinds of bad guys were showing up at demonstrations with guns. It was ruled at that time, they could indeed show up with guns, because of the 2nd amendment..........

Sooooo, Denver passed a law that the guns could not be loaded with bullets.!!!!!!!????????
It seemed to relieve the Denver Cops somewhat, but not entirely. Not sure how the new law worked out long term.....

At the same time, (70's) there was a big uprising among cops and citizens backing the cops, due to the police chief only allowing the cop's side arm to be a 38 or 357 revolver, and to only use lead bullets, when all the banditos they were confronting had semi automatic pistols with hollow points.......
