*TRIGGER WARNING* [pun not intended] Cops and Guns: "In Norway, Iceland, New Zealand, Britain, and Ireland, police officers generally do not carry firearms. In one of these countries, Iceland, it’s legal for citizens to carry guns—and roughly a third choose to do so." Why do cops need guns?

What would happen if we banned guns? Would the crime rate increase? Would we start losing other rights that are in the constitution? Would our country begin to be run by criminals and foolish people? I don’t want to find out and I don’t want to live in a world where those happen.

Firearms, a really dangerous weapon. Since the 9th century, firearms had become one of the important items of human society. Now, if you suddenly think of the guns or firearms, you will certainly think of two countries. One the United States and anther one China. Guns are a kind of sword, it could make a country more powerful, but guns are also dangerous. Thus, we should use the laws to limit, to manage the person who has a gun.
