Well if that were the case why do the statistics show a nice normal gun:death ratio in countries that have armed police, like the UK and Ireland.
If you attack an armed Gardai here with a knife, you'll be shot. You don't need a gun. But yet you don't see really high rates (if any) of people being shot by Gardai.
Maybe it's culture but gun restrictions like we have here are the way to go. No one can really hold a valid argument to the opposite.
I hope this makes sense, finding it hard to make sense right now.
