[lit-ideas] Re: Guns and the older woman, continued

LH:
Another observation has to do with the police. In Mike's mythical future, all civilians have had their guns taken away and melted down into pruning hooks. Only the police have guns.<<
Wrong again. Can't you gun nuts get anything right? The police would not be allowed to carry guns (or even own them) in my world. There would probably have to be a SWAT unit, but it would be very select and very, very well trained. But they would doubtless be as lonely as the Maytag repairman. There's no reason for anyone to have a gun if no one else has a gun. So you can relax, Lawrence, policemen will be your friends.
