That's a popular leftist talking point, but untrue. It didn't work for the murderers of Armad Aubrey (as it should not have), for one recent high-profile example. If we were referring to _Police_ in America, I'd agree with you.

"If I would have let [the person shot four times] take my firearm from me, he would have used it and killed me with it and probably killed more people." https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/11/20/the-acqui...

If it were a cheat code, by definition, it would be available to anyone and everyone without prejudice or variance. I didn't say it never happened. To paint it as a cheat code is simply biased anti-2a sentiment - and inaccurate, at that.
