Those nations have heavy regulated gun laws though.

and do they have mass shootings on the daily?

That's not the point. The point is that you can't have a police force that's weaker than the criminals.

yes you can. have a special unit for those cases. the goons on the streets don't need firearms.

Cops don't need the option to murder me when giving me a speeding ticket.

Police in my country wear guns.

They never use them because criminals don't shoot at cops.

You maybe get 1 crazy person per year that deserves to have a weapon drawn at them.

Your argument implies the inhumane and corrupt American police forces, which are an exception.
