    I … can’t imagine the US government cares about that (excuse the pun) caliber of gun too much. Police guns will largely be paid for from municipal and state budgets rather than the federal budget, and there’s something larger at stake:

    • Large US producers want to make profits, and I can’t imagine that small, extremely commoditized weapons are the best option for that.
    • The US government would probably like gain more control over the EU. If the US were to attack Greenland, they’d probably be happier if EU nations were immobilized because [shenanigans].

    I may be wrong.
