You are all a bunch of socialist control freaks. The nazi swat teams shouldn't exist in the first place.
These are different problems, no?
The two are associated, IMO. The fascism is type of socialism: 'national socialism.' The two rely on each other. Indeed we have a left and right wing in government who are partnered. It's not left vs right, it's left -and- right together, both of which are nationalist parties (control freaks). Topic for another discussion one day maybe.

I mean, if someone robs a store with an assault rifle, do you lessen the charges because you (a hypothetical you, not LittleMe) think more gun control is needed and therefore the gun shouldn't exist?
No, that's a different analogy.

No. The gun does exist, it's dangerous, and someone is exploiting that.
Many SWAT teams in the US shouldn't exist, but they do, and they can be very dangerous, particularly when there's a misunderstanding, and they're also very expensive to send out on call.
All true, but five years in the pen is far too much IMO. That's cruel and unusual, even if only half served.
Perpetual debt is slavery.
