And criminals in the US are the only ones with illegal guns? Why are the hardly any such cases in most European countries while we can all name several from the US?

I'm very sympathetic towards a lot of the things police officers have to deal with. Ours get threatened as well, but they still manage to get home without shooting nearly as many people even if you adjust for population. Officers here arrest people all the time without shooting them on sight. Of course you can say the USA are very different, but then you have at best found the root of the problem...

It's a cultural problem and US culture simply kills a whole lot more people.
