[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 4290941, member: 67762"] Apples to oranges. A seatbelt isn't going to get stolen and kill someone else. Arming every group of people because one of them is a victim of a crime is idiocy. Every profession has had victims of gun violence. Should we arm Walmart workers when they get robbed? How about McDonald's employees when they get robbed? As a UPS driver, you are 1000x more likely to die in a car accident than getting shot by the police or a armed robbery suspect. As evidenced by the police officers in this case, people are stupid. Put a gun in their hands and they become even more stupid. You take a situation like a bar fight and amp it up into a life or death situation because you know you have a gun and you are a bad ass so you escalate. Not many people, including cops, are good at handling adrenaline and making appropriate decisions during a conflict. [/QUOTE]
