Hi,
I am a bit confused, what has the title of this post to do with the subject? Anyway, the police here do carry guns, which does include automatic weapons for "sensitive" area's. This however has nothing to do with the so called "war on terror" being carried out by the USA at the moment. The big difference, is that the citizens (thank the gods) are not allowed any sort of weapon, therefor giving the police here rarely a reason for ever using thier weapons. I think that having a country full of "gun pulling patriots" is a very good way to encourage terrorism, not to prevent it.

I know that I can walk the streets here, and one thing I do not have to worry about, is the thought of being shot, either by the police or a criminal. So long as we manage to hold our values then so shall it remain. How many people loose thier lives every single day in the USA as a result of gunfire? And you feel safe, with your gun at your side? Strange.....

Greetings
