Yes; actually I am against the manufacture and distribution of handguns except where an authorised law enforcement need exists. I think Cops are trianed and counseled on a regular basis in the use and safety requirements of handguns. They have the job to lose if they misuse them. And reasonably someone has to be able to deal with any illegal weapons used for force. But I don't think every Tom Dick and Harry should be owning and carrying handguns on their person in public.
