Most experts recommend a shotgun for home defense.
Ok, then this must have been the language barrier striking again. I thought that shotguns were a kind of rifle. I guess I just learned something new.
Yes, I do agree, shotguns are good for hunting ducks and burglars alike
Military Officers carry side arms.
Only those that do not take directly part in the action.
So do Police Officers.
I included police officers in the list of those that have a real reason to carry a handgun. Read a few posts back.
Nowadays, remote controlled RPGs and bazookas would be far more effective.
Yeah, I feel much saver now that my neighbour has installed that sentry gun in his front yard.
You mean robberies.
Robberies, burglaries, etc.
They are perfect for sniping other people, which is a different sort of crime.
Yeah, the last sniper that I remember was the one in Washington. I think that there are generally rather few snipings happening (luckily and yes there are some, but comparably few, I am sure).
If we shipped a representative section of big city America over to you, you would find out just how much more crime you had.
I would trade that for our multi cultural explosive package any time. We have a high muslim faction in the big cities.
No one said that that I noticed.

There are several more posts on page one that basically say that police is not good.
You mean like the crips and bloods?
You make my point.
They said the police CANNOT protect you from violent people.
I disagree with this sentiment. I have personally been involved in a situation, where exactly that happened.
The police DO arrest quite a few of the worst people in a community, and thereby reduce violence and crime, so they ARE beneficial.
Here the solve rate for violent crimes is pretty high. I cant quite remember anymore where it was exaclty.
It is lower for property crimes though and those have been increasing recently thanks to said minorities(we have those too, you know) that are growin in this country.
