Default Re: Gun accidents? Guns are dangrous?

What do you mean "keep up with whatever exists among civilians"?

It's quite simple. If a big part of the civilian population is armed, such as USA, law-enforcement must also be armed. If the civilian population has very few guns, then law-enforcement is able to do some tasks, such as patrols, without guns. This helps promote a gun-free society and is supposed to increase the safety of both civilians and law-enforcement.

That's already been addressed in this thread. A huge component of it is the war on (some) drugs; prohibition is much more violently enforced in the US than in other western countries.

I can't find it, maybe I missed it. Can you elaborate on your explanation?
