well i guess we dont need the police then if we all carry guns outside like the western days. you like ?

Answer 1

You'll still need the Police. Maybe not as many. Just remember, in the western days, as you put it. The busiest man, was the undertaker.

Answer 2

These questions always fascinate me because of the answers from Americans. Don't you know that you have about 8 times more chance of being killed by gunfire than almost any other civilised country. That the chances of your kids being gunned down ay school are so much greater than here in Australia, where it is almost unheard of, and that your 2nd amendment not only permits sensible people from owning a gun but also millions of idiots you couldn't trust with a peashooter.
Today alone we hear of a near disaster occurring in one of your schools because a mother bought a 30 round 9 millimetre, scoped rifle for her 14 year old. And yesterday one went on a rampage with two handguns luckily not actually killing anybody, except himself.
To answer your question...boy do you need a police force?
It would be like Baghdad on a bad day if you didn't have one.
EDIT to mark X. Statistics are based on %"s so population size doesn't really come into it. If we in Australia had the same attitude to violence and firearms that is prevelent in US we would have a few hundred idiots running around with guns but the overall effect would be just as disasterous.
You would be amazed how many people want to come and live in this country Marc. and how many would like access to our natural resources. We are a very small country in population but recognised as the 8th richest. Not bad for the ...... place you think it is.

Answer 3

The police interior the united kingdom have been asked on distinctive activities in the event that they might % to hold weapons. maximum persons opinion has continuously been an overpowering "no". Likewise, surveys of the universal public point out that the pubic additionally prefers it that they do no longer carry weapons. the united kingdom has plenty stricter firearms rules than the U. S., and human beings there are far much less in all probability to hold weapons. As such, police hardly come upon armed offenders, and for the main area they simply do no longer come upon circumstances the place having a firearm is mandatory or clever. Batons, spray, and tazers are extra suitable than adequate for the circumstances a common British policeman is in all probability to come across. interior the uncommon circumstances the place they do choose weapons, the firearms team may well be called in. each branch has some accredited Firearms officials (AFOs) who reply to circumstances the place weapons may well be mandatory. There additionally are the expert Firearms officials (SFOs) who're the equivalent of yank SWAT communities. different expert police instruments, and the police in Northern Island, carry firearms robotically. In 2008, there have been over 20 000 police operations the place the use firearms became accredited interior the united kingdom, notwithstanding there have been in basic terms 7 the place a first firearm became truthfully used. So actual, they do no longer choose them, they do no longer % them, and interior the uncommon situations they do choose them, they are available.

Answer 4

Yep, all these countries with stricter gun laws and lower incidences of gun violence. Now tell the WHOLE story:
U.S. over 300 million people
Australia, 20 million
Canada 33 million
England 60 million
Japan 127 million

And Japan has had centuries of armed samurai killing citizens for not getting along. So who needed guns against an oppressive government? Same for England and its monarchy when the U.S. severed ties.

So it's not JUST gun laws, as population AND social history plays a large part of it. The reason Australia has more land mass than the U.S. but is still largely unsettled is because the rest of the world doesn't want it, including the aborigines.

Answer 5

Keep the police to lock up the piece of crap that tries to rob an armed person.

Answer 6

The man with the tin star

Answer 7

Only idiots think guns are toys..... I have a gun because I want to be able to defend my life and what is mine...... Don't come to my house in the middle of the night!

Answer 8

I like that the second amendment allows for responsible personal ownership of firearms. That doesn't mean we no longer need cops.

Answer 9

If you were an American, you'd understand better.

Every country that has gun control has more violent crime.

Every dictator first eliminates private gun ownership.

American GI's have bailed a few of them out (like Europe, twice)

Answer 10
