'A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.'
As most are aware this ammendment in the American constitution gives citizens the right to be armed in order to protect themselves
In Australia we are not allowed to protect ourselves by the means of being armed.
What do you think......should we be allowed to be armed like america or do you think that allowing people to be armed will cause gun violence to increase(which is obviously bad)
Also, in the UK general duty police are not armed(special officers are) do you think that general duty police should be armed, like Australia
the reason I bring this up is that on another forum I have read, there has been quite an interestin debate on both topics, so I thought why not open up our minds and express what we think
let us know.........
cheers, dave
