That would be like saying that the answer to the drug problem is to make all drugs legal.
Even the British police oppose being armed because they know this will simply escalate the situation, which is exactly what has happened in America.
The British will sort out this problem in their usual stoic, determined style.
Just as we refused to give in to Hitler, so we will refuse to give in to an American-style gun culture and the endless slaughter that causes.
Off-duty San Diego police officer shoots woman, boy From the Associated Press 2:44 AM PDT, March 18, 2008
Oceanside -- Authorities say a woman and her 8-year-old son are recovering after being shot by an off-duty San Diego police officer in an apparent case of road rage.
At about 9:15 p.m. Saturday, Officer Frank White fired at the woman's vehicle in a shopping center parking lot. Police say the incident began when one of the drivers cut the other one off.
Oceanside police say the woman -- who is in her 20s and married to a Marine -- was unarmed. She and her son remained hospitalized Monday evening with what authorities called non-life threatening injuries.
White, 28, is on administrative leave while Oceanside police investigate the shooting. San Diego police also are doing an internal investigation. He has worked for that agency since 2005.
