Sorry, guns are in very high fashion.

The fields of battle have moved back to "former" colonies: Africa and South Asia and are coming soon to a demonstration near you. Do you ever listen to the daily news from Africa? You are living on Fantasy Island, boss. And apparently you did not witness OWwherever police tactics (physical high and low tech ones as well as information technology based ones) first hand.
