Why Cops Carry Guns

Some fool politicians seem to think that sending unarmed cops out to enforce the law is a good idea. It is NOT. At any given time, a situation that SEEMS to be innocuous can escalate into a shooting death for the cop if he/she is not armed and ready for self defense. No amount of “gun control” is going to stop dedicated law breakers getting the guns they use to victimize the rest of us, so the cops need to be armed, or they’re just as defenseless as we are. It’s made worse by the fact that politicians almost everywhere think all they have to do is make a law against something and nobody will do it. That is disproved every day, and in every major city in the country that has a “gang problem” or a “crime problem.” It is well known that gang members and other criminals are ALWAYS armed, and almost always by guns not registered to them. Sometimes they buy them illegally, other times they just teal them. But laws against LEGAL gun ownership do NOTHING to stop their use—because criminals don’t obey laws. That’s why we call them criminals. (Just common sense)
