This exactly. You cannot first say people have a right to own guns, a right to defend themselves with them, and a right to shoot intruders in their homes, and then give police a no-knock warrant to enter people's homes unannounced. You're asking police officers to get shot. It's an incredibly stupid and dangerous combination.

Technically, police officers are the ones applying for the no-knock warrants which get other police officers shot. And police officers are the ones who pushed for more use of no-knock (something like 10x increase from 30 years ago) because they think it improves their safety (more likely it just allows them to prosecute warrants faster than waiting for the door and risking the suspect destroying evidence before opening the door).
