Once again, why are Americans allowed to carry guns?

I'm sorry, are you saying the FREAKING POLICE should not be allowed to have guns?

How the hell would that work.

Police: "Dear psychotic heroin dealer who is firing at us with that Uzi, please put your hands on your head and remain still while we approach you with these handcuffs"

Psychotic Heroin Dealer: "No problem officer, I am 100% reasonable, and as we all know no criminal poses any sort of physical threat to a police officer, I'm happy that you have all chosen not to bring guns"

and they live happily ever after?

I get you want to yell at Americans and start a mini-flame war for some reason (probably an ignorant one) but saying police officers shouldn't have guns is absolute insanity.

Exactly how it works in England and most of Europe. Police carry batons, pepper spray and non leathal weapons. If a truly dangerous human being is noted, which is highly unlikely what with the gun laws in place, then an armed contingent will arrive to take him down. Much better than giving Tom Dick and Harry an armed pistol without any kind of crash course lesson on using it.

"Outlaw guns, and only the outlaws will have guns"

There is a cultural difference in America and England, frankly, it's fucking awesome that police don't always need to carry firearms in England, but in America it simply would not work. No law is going to stop outlaws from getting their hands on a gun if they truly want it.

The reason police in England don't always need them is because guns are less popular among outlaws culturally. And the "armed contingent" alternative is definitely favorable to England with it's higher population density, in the United States most places couldn't afford to have normal police and armed contingents on standby, it would work in urban centers, but rurally the police would all have to be armed, which would raise the question of "how rural does an area need to be before a cop is allowed to carry a gun?"

*SNIP*

All I have to say is congrats on killing your argument on Animal Cruelty by posting the article. If you actually know animals or people watch their mannerisms. The dog is skittish throughout the ENTIRE video. The police would not have been called if the dog was harmless and they need more than 1 complaint to actually DO something about the dog. Did you ACTUALLY read the article before you decided to add it? There are 5 people in the article that have complained about feeling threatened. And not registering the dog because of a "slip" of the mind is BULLSHIT. Seriously if you can't get the papers for the dog you don't deserve to have it.
