You claimed more guns, more homicides. More guns are in the police station and it is packed with guns. Hey policeman A went out last night and looked at policeman B's girlfriend wrong. Blam! Or, you fouled me too hard in basketball, Blam! Police Stations full of testosterone filled men with GUNS everywhere. Has to be a shooting zone with killings daily, right?

Never said that.

>That seems to be your narrative. More guns, dense population of people working in close clausterphobic area, with plenty of ammo. Police must be shooting each other daily over petty fights, work assignments, disrespect...and none of it is true.

That's because you're creating my narrative. Police spend months, or years, being trained in what to do with guns, as well as what to do about someone who is abusing a gun, in a way that 99% of civilians can never be trained. That's why I trust police with guns more than I trust, say, myself. And a police station is obviously a special environment.

And forget race. Imagine a fraternity house where everyone's white, but everyone's armed? Yikes.
