How can you be distrustful of police AND against the 2a?

First of all, I’d like to say that I’ve very much enjoyed being a part of this group. I’ve gained so much perspective and absorbed so much information from this community. :)

With that being said, I know that many liberals are fearful of the law enforcement community as a whole. I understand some of the apprehension, as many members of the LEO community tend to be conservative, along with a white nationalist infiltration into different agencies throughout the country. (This is not to say that I am personally of the mindset that ACAB. I live in MA and I’m very grateful for the brave people that wear the badge proudly and protect us.)

My question (not necessarily to members of this group, but maybe to the David Hogg’s of the world) is for liberals that have a general distrust of the law enforcement community as a whole: Why don’t more of you exercise your 2nd Amendment rights? Does it make sense for the Democratic Party to seemingly embrace a more laissez-faire approach towards law enforcement while being so vehemently against guns?

TLDR; If you’re a liberal with a general distrust of law enforcement/government, how do you reconcile that with wanting fewer guns on the streets? Do you not bear the responsibility for your own protection Would it not make sense to be even more pro-2a under these circumstances?
