Number of Police officers killed in the UK since 1900 = Around 160.
Number of Police officers killed in the USA last year = Around 150.
(150 seems to be the average per year, the 70's averaged around the 190/200 mark)
I don't want guns completely legalised in my country just because someone wants to collect them. Or gets off on shooting stuff..
If someone wanted to attack me with a knife I'd at least be close enough to defend myself.
I've had a gun pulled on me twice in my life, I still don't feel the need to own one.
