Molon Labe! Friday, January 2nd UK: PC's killing sparks gun debate

Posted 12/30/2003 from CNN
"There are growing calls in the UK for all police to carry guns after an unarmed officer was shot dead.

PC Ian Broadhurst was shot dead in Leeds, northern England, while trying to arrest the occupant of a stolen car.

The killing has sparked a debate in Britain about whether all British police officers should be armed. At present, only some trained officers carry guns.

Norman Brennan, Director of Protect the Protectors pressure group, said: 'Gun crime has become a cancer on society and we cannot allow it to be terminal.
'Unarmed officers are sitting ducks when trying to tackle the increased gun crime in this country that is out of control.

'Armed criminals have complete disrespect and my colleague has paid the ultimate price for trying to make society a safer place. This indiscriminate murder yet again begs the question, when do we fully arm the British police service?'

Conservative MP Roger Gale said the UK had to face the choice between reintroducing the death penalty and further arming the police force."

    Britain gun law working... just not the way they thought it would? I full heartedly disagree. It is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

    Although the end result was that at least one officer or high ranking official was going to have to be shot or be slain by the bullet, it rallied the cause to institute a military scaled Police State in the UK.

    This isn't the first time in history this has occured. Hitler did it, too.

    Remember how many seats were lost after AWB passage? Vae victis!
    Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.

    Hey, I thought Scotland, England, Canada and Austraila got rid of all guns and the crime that "goes" with them.

    When guns were invented everything changed. For the first time in the history of the world a frail woman had a chance to sucessfully defend herself and home. My dream is that one of the anti-gun nuts will need a gun for defense and be unable to have one because of their own actions.

    Stages of Gun Kontrol:
    1. Legislation
    2. Registration
    3. Confiscation
    4. Extermination

    In my judgment, the ones willing to beat their swords into plowshares with the hope of safety from the government deserve to be carried of in cattle cars and put in the ovens; the sentence for their cowardice and stupidity.
