if the state believes our society is safe, it should remove all armed police from normal patrols as england has done. the state should also remove all armed guards surrounding the governor and other state officials. otherwise, why are they trying to disarm peaceful law abiding citizens?

remember, the police have no duty to protect you from harm from another citizen. it is up to you to protect yourself, your family and loved ones. how you protect yourself, your family and loved ones is your decision.

there are some who choose not to own guns and who do not believe in god. that's up to them. however, if someone breaks into their home, the first thing they will do is call 911 and ask for a cop with a gun to deal with the burglar. the second thing they will do is pray to god that the police get there in time.
