If he went from one thatched cottage to the next stabbing a little old lady each time he'd kill hundreds. Back in the real world however the second he confronted more than a couple of people he'd be tackled.
This is a knee jerk reaction to a problem that's not currently there and I wouldn't want to see the majority of our egotist bobbies with a gun either
