I blame the NRA and it creed of everyone has the right to bear, carry, and display a gun for our cops being on the edge-as I put it. In other countries with strict gun laws cops have an expectation of safety and of not confronting a criminal with a gun. In other words, a cop in England or Japan seeing a person with a supersoaker is seeing a person with a supersoaker while a cop in America is seeing someone who can possibly take his life.

Fuck the NRA - the real reason for gun violence in America.
