Bobbies Getting Smart

"We live in dangerous times," say London's cops, as more and more of them want to be armed. As if they didn't "live in dangerous times" before this. But it is true. with criminals, crazies, and Islamic terrorists being routinely armed, cops don't want to be counted among the defenseless when confronting these people--and they're smart to do so. It is the politician and bureaucrat, who doesn't have to come face-to-face with these criminals, who insist on keeping cops AND law-abiding citizens disarmed, and therefore defenseless against these criminals, who always seem to get their guns, legal or otherwise. That little fact is always ignored, in their hysterical efforts to eliminate as many guns as they can. Their laws do NOTHING to "stem gun violence," and if they're intelligent, they must know that. But they insist on making these useless laws, making honest people DEFENSELESS against these "bad guys." I can only assume that they WANT honest people to be "sitting ducks." The simple answer is to arm these people so they can "clean out" those criminals. But the politicians and bureaucrats, who are safe in their castles, don't agree. (Independent)
