There are quite a few European countries that don't arm their police and it has worked fine up to this point. Having lived overseas for a number of years, I asked Europeans what they thought of Americans and the answer I got repeatedly was pretty sad - we were all fat and owned lots of guns.

Let's see. What
some Europeans (how many?) said was "we were all fat and owned lots of guns".
Maybe some of us would like to ask them is, "How long have you lived in or visited the USA?"....."If you've never been there, where do you get your information on all of American society?"......."How many Americans have you spoken with directly and in person (you know, to size them up physically)?"......"What television channels and internet sites informed your stereotype that all Americans are fat, gun-toting hicks?"
Gimme a break.
