Never mind that Lautenberg and McCarthy apparently believe that police officers&#8211;even retired ones&#8211;do have such a need.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/gun-rights-of-rights-needs-and-sporting-purposes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;Read the whole column here<\/a>.
