Funny old world; we, non-Americans, can say what we like about America and its guns, but heaven forbid we get any of the same logic back at us.
Our UK problem is that we don't have enough guns in the right hands; police ones. We probably don't even have enough of the right police: I have heard so many of them saying they'd quit if they had to carry arms. Dear effin' me, what a bunch of strange folks we employ: I thought that part of the duty of the police was to win confrontations. As has been shown quite often, that only works if you have superior weaponry and know how to use it. I'm an old guy and can see this to be perfectly obvious; what's wrong with those much younger who can't? Can't they even remember being in school and that being small won you no battles? It's exactly the same in the big bad world outside, only even more dangerous because the bad guys are bigger than they were in school.
The argument is made: if you arm the police then the criminals arm too. Man, the ones who can get arms are already armed.
