I have visited other countries where the police are armed and it does not make me feel safe but very unsafe.

This argument reminds me of the fox-hunting debate. Those who like to dress up, in like company ride around on land that they would not usually be allowed, claim that they not doing this but are controlling foxes. This is as much nonsense as bringing in ancient laws and rulings to support the fact that some people, LIKE guns and don't want them taken away.

Those people have to decide if doing what they like is worth the price that everyone has to pay.
