I agree on almost every point...

Referring to the gun debate thread, I mentioned the lack of guns in the UK as an indicator - particularly with reference to a family member who is a policeman... and was almost instantly greeted by an anonymous "headline" suggesting the death of a policeman's family members was the only likely outcome of them not being armed.

Offensive no doubt and something I chose not to respond to...

But I guess we do need to know what other people think... The underlying belief could have been that it is unethical not to arm the police in a violent society... which is not an unreasonable point...

Anyway. I think the vow's a pretty good idea. I might even squeeze myself into taking it.
