The problem with that is, of course, it's very expensive for some of the more advanced nonlethal technology to be issued to all law enforcement officials across our country.

If we issued a national ban on all firearms, law enforcement included, and then issued lifetime prison sentences for even 1 weapons violation, I think we could soon rid the country of all weapons. A country our size, with no firearms, would be a much safer place to live than a country our size with all the firearms we have today.

This is all a fantasy of course. It would never happen, or go so smoothly. It's a nice thought though.
