For once I agree with a gun control nut. In fact, I openly advocate the British system where guns are outlawed and cops aren't allowed to carry them. If guns are bad and cause violence, then make them illegal. Start with the police as a perfect test group. Make it illegal to own guns and that goes for the police. After all, they're just ordinary human beings like the rest of us. If guns are the cause of violence, there will be an automatic decrease in gun injuries and deaths once hundreds of thousands of the most violent thugs in the country are disarmed.
I suspect a lot of law-abiding citizens will be disarmed, too, along with those liberals who currently advocate gun control for others, yet keep a weapon handy for their own protection. And millions of other people (including the few smart policemen, the ones who should be armed) will still have weapons for self defense against the few assholes who vicimize others in spite of the commandments of politicians.
Overall, it would make for a safer society. (The wasteful war on drugs would come to an abrupt end, too.)
