When the Police are the only ones with firearms ... You by definition have a Police State ... That is not paranoia. It is no harder to say 150 times than it is to say 160 times ... And I don't care who agrees with the incorrect answer.
Try again peanut ...

Ignoring your idiotic trying to parse the math question, (Pssst... Pssst- if you throw in the 1000 accidental gun deaths, it is 160 to one.) I actually am going to play with the 'We are in a police state" nonsense.
The other G-7 Countries either limit or ban guns. So are they police states? Let's look at these figures from wiki- Police officers per 100,000 people
List of countries by number of police officers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
US 256
UK - 307
Canada - 202
France - 356
Italy - 417
Germany - 298
Japan 197
So , no, some of them have less cops, some have more, but we all have about the same amount, less than half a percent of our population engaged in being police. So much for a "police State".
Hey, but here's a better measure. How many of our people do we lock up per 100 K people.
List of countries by incarceration rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
US - 716
UK - 148
Canada - 114
France - 101
Italy - 108
Germany 80
Japan - 54
Soooo- We have about as many people as police officers, we have a shitload more murders and we lock up 5 to 14 as many of our citizens per capita.
But, yeah, guns are all about "Freedom", man.
