Then of course, rent a 747 and fillit with friends and family for a weekend jaunt to Paris for shopping and great food...all expences paid!

Why can't we compare out culture to that of England? Who is being dismissive now? I do not have an…Read More unreasonable fear of firearms. I just don't believe that police officers need assault weapons in response to a neighborhood call. There were four police officers with guns already capable of blowing off the head of a 70 year old woman and an adult male who lived with his mother. This warrants an assault rifle? No, I am not unreasonably afraid of firearms. I just think that public servants don't need combat weaponry for residential neighborhoods. We are not terroists. And if police officers fear us that much, maybe they should choose a different vocation, like joining the military and fighting those who have assault rifles to shoot back, rather than conducting themselves as peace officers of unarmed civilians. They are supposed to be peace officers, not executioners. Look at the video above. Were 11 shots into an unarmed man warranted?

Have you ever heard of the North Hollywood Shootout from 1997? If not, look it up, you'll understand…Read More why officers carry 'assault rifles'. Through this post I get a real vibe you dislike guns. Perhaps that skews your feelings here?
And as far as the police in England not being armed...you cannot compare two distinctly different cultures police forces. For example, police in Afghanistan routinely carry full automatic AK-47's and RPG's.
As for the situation, you dismiss a domestic as if it's nothing. You seem not to know the exact details, whether they were told weapons were involved, or if there had been past problems.

Just because the guns scare you doesn't mean this is a 'police state' it means you have an unreasonable fear of firearms that you're somehow linking to tyranny.
