Most ppl I know don't believe that civilians should have the right to possess firearms but I do think that all police in metropolitan areas should be armed.

I think this is an interesting comment. I'd like to clarify some of it if that is acceptable?

Are you saying that when armed men enter the home of someone, by force or by stealth, and intend to do harm to the inhabitants, women, children, whomever would be inside; that you would have them to simply lay down and accept rape, death, or even robbery rather than simply allowing them to be armed, and expecting them to act responsibly? ( I know run-on sentence from HELL)

Also, are you speculating that when "police" act inappropriately, including acts of murder, rape, or other deviant behavior (IT DOES HAPPEN from time to time) that a man or woman shouldn't be able to at the bare minimum, defend their LIFE with a firearm?

Is the European culture so wrung out that it's people have no desire to STAND UP as free people?

I don't mean to be offensive, so bear with me. I am not saying that everyone SHOULD have guns. By all means, I AM GOING TO HAVE THEM, with which to defend my wife and children with, and as a side note, to hunt with ( to feed them as well).

I don't put my opinions upon OTHER people, and I politely expect them to NOT FORCE THEM UPON ME.

Firearms, and a proper mindset are the tools that I use to ensure that the rights of those I protect are not trampled. These tools are no different than a CAR with which I could easily kill as many or more people with.
