I know a lot of police officers and they believe these guns so-called 'assault rifles' should be legal for everyone. They also say that if it ever comes to confiscation they won't do it for a few reasons. One, they believe they are legally allowed by the 2nd Amendment. Two, there are far too many to confiscate. Three, it would be far to dangerous to attempt to confiscate them. Just like the people in Maryland, I'm sure there are a lot of law abiding citizens, officers included, who have banned AR15s and 'high capacity' magazines in their possession wherever these things are banned. The only thing that makes them criminal is the unconstitutional gun laws banning them.
Could this be a good test case for SCOTUS? Because these guns are legal in the majority of US states.

SF officer suspected of making prohibited assault rifle
By Jenna Lyons Updated 11:18 am, Wednesday, July 27, 2016
A San Francisco police officer was arrested after an investigation revealed he manufactured and possessed a prohibited AR-15 style assault rifle, police said Tuesday. Thomas Abrahamsen, 50, of Berkeley was booked on suspicion of manufacturing an assault weapon and possessing an assault weapon, both felonies.
An investigation into Abrahamsen began in the summer of 2015 after other members of the department tipped off officials. The probe found the officer manufactured and owned a prohibited assault rifle along with AR-15 receive components, police said.
