But that's what we do when we arm policemen, no?
Almost time to move this thread to the gun club?

an Armed society is a polite society.
I don't remember in which "Conan" opus it's said something to the effect that barbarians are more courteous than civilized folk because they are conscious of the fact that the other guy is apt to split their skull if they are too disrespectful.

Thanks for supporting another one of those blithe and trite clichés with so much scientific evidence. What next? More scientific evidence for "more arms = fewer crimes"? "If you don't have a weapon at hand you'll be forced to helplessly watch home invaders rape and murder your wife and murders?"
What lap are we on now anyway?

Yes, sir, I believe you are right. Something's broke. Bad.

Not really about punishment in the US...more like the enslavement and exploitation decade.

Always have law enforcement confront mass murderer. Bull horn and hiding behind an SUV should work. He/she will most likely shoot themselves, saving us a lot of $. We already know the solution, no research will help. Just collect all the guns.

...nightmare
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
