It's never been empirically proven. Gun deaths are more prevalent the higher the legal ownership of guns, theres a strong correlation. I saw a graph yesterday, I'll try and find it somewhere.

Infact i'd want that for the UK too, for at least 30% of officers.

I have no problem with members of the Police forces being armed. Armed Response units serve a useful and valid purpose. I see no compelling justification for arming regular officers though.

We don't like people being shot over here, we like tazers (well, except Pedantichrist if I remember correctly).

Criminals have guns anyway, it's the curious toddler, the jumpy texan and the mentally ill school shooter that you want to legislate guns further away from.
People say guns don't kill people, ok. What else do they do?
