And they would continue to happen, a person wanting to kill themself will find a way.

You don't get to decide that, fucktard. I won't even consider the argument until the cops leave their guns in lockers at the precinct at the end of each shift, and go home unarmed like the rest of us, same as with any government official.
No, we need to concentrate on guns. As in we have too many in the hands of crazy people.
Germany lets its citizens own guns, but they are selective in who gets them. They don't have anywhere near our problems. Germany as a country has less homicides than any major American city.
I worry more about what cops do with their guns when they are on duty than off... considering you can pretty much shoot a black child in the back and not face any legal consequences unless they catch you on tape doing it.
