        @BBCBreaking get rid of the 'gun' and you don't need to stop a 'bad guy with a gun'. Guns are made for war, you want war on your streets?

        @BBCBreaking #Connecticut Guns can't be removed, so let guns pay for the extra police that is needed by an additional tax on guns

        @BBCBreaking In the UK that would be policeman with a gun. Most policemen are not armed. I have never seen real gun at 50 yrs old.
