I still think it's the old Power question " Power corrupts....absolute Power corrupts....Absolutely". Give most Human Beings Power / Authority and they WILL at some stage misuse / abuse it, or use it for their own gain. That's why it makes the way those kind of People are chosen, one of the most important. Critical as We may be, the Police are still the People We call first when we are the victims of Crime. As has been said, America has chosen its own way of Life and its Constitution; included in that Constitution, is an individuals right to bear Arms. Apart from the vast amount of Money involved in the Arms trade, both domestic and foreign; I suggest they should have looked at the results it has had on their society. Most Criminals are Armed, shootings are prevalent ( both deliberate and accidental ), Police are Jumpy, even trigger happy in some instances; because they would rather shoot somebody else, than be shot themselves. In there somewhere, are ordinary people who get caught up in the society; that the abusers have been instrumental in creating. So instead of playing the blame game, maybe they should be looking at the "cause & effect" of why things are the way they are.
