Generally, rank and file are pro-2A for the reason you said- they know they won't be there at the time of the crime. Typically they do favor background checks and red flag laws.

Upper level LEOs tend to be political creatures. It the mayor, electorate or whomever they owe their job to is pro-2A they will follow suit. If pro gun control, they will also call for control.

In all cases they will favor LEO exemption to gun control laws.
