within a month pretty much just across the bay from me in St. Pete. http://www2.tbo.com/content/2011/feb...st/news-metro/
There have already been 27(8?) law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty this year...

I had no idea so few police were killed in the line of duty in the UK. Most of the deaths on the police honour rolls appear to be accidental deaths not in the line of duty (eg road accidents etc).

I'd honestly rather look into why cops are being killed so seemingly frequently rather than how. Sure, there's a direct correlation but still - what makes a criminal so intent or amendable (not sure which word to use) on pulling the trigger in the first place? There's more to it than "just guns".

Might as well just close the thread now and avoid any intelligent conversation.
Yes, it's all guns.

Don't give them the chance in the first place.
Some people are just bad people and yes it does come down to if said bad person did not have a gun he would resort to knives. you HAVE to look at how many guns there are in America.
1 gun for every 8 people and that number keeps getting smaller.
I'm not anti-gun. But the NRA doesnt do the world any favors.
/rant
I need to compare gun ownership laws in Illinois to California.

A gun is a tool, but why are so many seemingly so willing to use that tool?

There are many variables I'm sure, but I'd bet that would be a major one. |

Have you ever though about how the areas with the most gun crime have the strictest gun control laws? Perhaps it's the restricting of the people's freedoms that causes higher rates of crime. |

This shooting happened across the street from my house and cops have been knocking on my door nonstop.
I hope this man RIP, he deserves it.
