As a retired LEO, Citizens are facing more. Law Enforcement is a primarily reactionary force. Something happens to a citizen and LEO responds. If LEO is a reactionary, responding option, shouldn't the front line, the citizen, be more prepared?

Eh, bizarre argument... that’s like saying the common citizen should carry more anti-fire equipment than the fire department, or that the average citizen should carry a stretcher and defibrillator to work.

I am not arguing against the 2nd amendment rights, I just think your argument is hasty and sloppy. Need a bulletproof argument - and we have that. It’s our constitution.

we absolutely SHOULD have access to that equipment.

I think we should have access to virtually anything. I don't think every citizen should be more prepared for heart failure than a hospital/EMS... that's silly. They're specialists in their fields. Fire departments keep special anti-fire compounds on hand... I want access to the compounds, but I don't plan to buy 'em

All the same I dont think the average citizen, even the average gun owner is equipped on par with the military. even allowing for the discrepancies in what is reasonably obtainable.
