Since most if not all NFL stadiums have been built with our tax dollars, they should be the last people attacking the 2nd Amendment.
Minnesota’s largest police group and police union are suing the NFL and the Vikings, claiming the league’s new ban on off-duty cops carrying their guns to games is illegal.
The Minnesota law that allows businesses to bar weapons specifically exempts “active licensed” peace officers, and state law trumps NFL rules, the lawsuit says.
But the National Football League disagrees, saying the law doesn’t apply to it. Although an NFL spokesman declined to comment on the suit, when police officials complained about the policy last fall, the league’s security chief said a ticket to a game is a license that teams can revoke at will — and being an armed off-duty cop is reason enough.
The NFL said that between on-duty officers assigned to games and rent-a-cops, there are enough guns inside NFL stadiums, and the league worries about “blue-on-blue” shootings.

Those stadiums are mass-shooter-friendly zones, “blue-on-blue” shootings are rare, they’re the last thing I’m gonna worry about.
