The thing is SRS - everybody is making those remarks.

I think there's a sort of unanimity which is a bit scary.

all I'm saying is I wouldn't have wanted that cop's job that day, and I don't hear many people who understand what its like making an arrest. My Dad was a cop. Sometimes things can go very wrong, when they do - its a tough spot to be in - you have to make decisions. Sometimes you get it very wrong, but it often hinges on a decision you make in a very fraught situation. Mostly no one dies but sometimes they do. Even in merrie England.

what I am certain of is that those decisions but must ten times more difficult when all members of the public have access to fire arms.
