I find it funny that this is basically an argument about the criteria for gun ownership. Not violence, or Empire or Dead policemen.
You have already pointed out that the Police make mistakes, everyone makes mistakes, at somepoint, somebody who really shouldn't own a gun legally will get one, legally. Should they send a Doctor round every week to every gun owner to assess their mental health? If you relax the rules then there is more chance of the wrong person getting a gun legally.
If you want to shoot targets what's wrong with an air rifle? Why do you need a semi automatic? One word.. Power.
If it was up to me then anyone who wanted an Assault Rifle should automatically not be allowed to have one, simply for wanting one. There is no need, other than to get your rocks off, ker-pow ker-pow. Look mom, I'm a killing machine.
