I am opposed to "no knock" forced entries by the police ... especially when, after the incident is over it turns out that the police entered the wrong domicile. This is further compounded when the legal resident who upon hearing the door being broken down fires at the unknown intruder(s) thereby initiating a gun battle between himself and the police. And then, the homeowner gets charged by an over zealous District Attorney for attempted murder of a police officer.
As for the sale of military hardware such as rifles, pistols, etc. I have no problem. The police should have comparable firepower to the anticipated people they are attempting to corral. Gangs such as MS-13 regularly use full auto sub-machine pistols as their weapon of choice.
Automatic grenade launchers and heavy machine guns (.50 M2 HB) on the other hand should be kept away from the police.
