If we send someone in with a firearm it's because they've been properly trained to use it. It's their job. We don't just hand firearms to ordinary police officers.
Nice drain on the taxpayers money.
1) Are you saying that there aren't enough people with guns legally or illegally to justify specialised armed police units in the UK?
2) Are you serioulsy saying that the entire police force should be armed simply to justify police funding? I'm not sure I understand that logic at all.
Wanting guns to just "go away" is like wanting porn to go away. It's out there, people enjoy it, and will pay for it.
You could say the same about murder. Doesn't mean you can't do the utmost to prevent it.
There was someone the other day explaining that there were bullies at their school with guns. I found it shocking, but for them that's just how life was. To be quite frank, I am very glad to live in a country where guns are not seen as a fact of life we should just accept.
