From the 1999 FBI crime stats:

Total Crimes Known: 11,635,100

Violent Crime: 1,430,690
Property Crime: 10,204,500
Murder: 15,530
Rape: 89,110
Robbery: 409,670
Assault: 916,380
Burglary: 2,099,700
Theft: 6,957,400
Motor Vehicle Theft: 1,147,300

Now, of the 11,635,100 or so crimes committed, how many of those were against LEOs and how many were committed against private citizens? I would suggest that the people, not the cops, have a much more dangerous need for firearms.

Of course. When was the last time anyone mugged a uniformed cop?
