I think soldiers, the police and certain other law enforcement officials should have guns. Civilians, however, should be required to demonstrate a good reason for having firearms.

Police are civilians...

"Police are civilians..."

Telling, isn't it? To dumbsh!ts like Bob Herbert, they are the same, when, as we here know better, despite similarities in equipement and tactics (somewhat unfortunately), the missions are extremely different.

This common misperception must make those "large and in charge", lean back, smile with satisfaction, and say to themselves, "Mission accomplished!".
