Are there "dangerous" areas in European Cities?

I agree.

Paramilitaries are tough to control. They don't know who they are a lot of the time. When they do they are colluding with them/protecting them to get information. Also as normal civilians they are hard to identify and up North cops are getting assassinated by the dissident Republicans.

You guys have strict gun laws in Ireland right?  Are guns common though?  

Do all the police in Ireland carry guns?

[The Wizard of Truth]

Cops here, as in street cops have no guns, no cop carrys a gun but detectives have access to them, it may be different up north, im in south
Criminals have guns but only use them if they have to

Every single cop in Northern Ireland HAS to carry a gun.

Anyone can pretty much get a hold of a gun if they wish.

Do you think crime rates would drop, if responsible, law abiding citizens in Ireland were given the right to carry concealed pistols like we have in some US states?



I saw a documentary with Henry Rollins about Northern Ireland, it was so fucking interesting.  Showed all the murals and stuff, what a place...
