[+] serious ballot by xyriach
ACTIVE Wed May 03, 06 - Thu May 03, 07

With gun crime on the increase and heightened security across all western countries, not to mention increasingly hostile young people and a generally increasing level of agression across the United Kingdom, we have to ask a very serious question.

Should British Police be armed full time? (With guns, obviously.)

No. This will only increase the amount of guns in the hands of the criminals.

I like living in a society where the police are approachable. Guns as well as being dangerous, would put another barrier in front of the civilian population.

Guns in the hands of the police is a sli[[ery slope, and we will go the way of the US.

BUT, I do believe they should have more non-lethal weapons. They are human beings with a right to protect themselves after all. And they dont get paid enough t risk their lives.

I'm sure that there are those who might agree with this. I don't because guns, for my belief, only exacerbate some problems. Gues feed into the male machismo in ways that are entirely unfathomable. Soem men, upon seeing guns, become that much more foolish, more likely to escalate an already volatile sitch.

Yes. By not doing so they're allowing criminals to be one step ahead, despite the fact that gun violence is still remarkably low in the UK.

Obviously if you read the moronic British press you'll be forgiven for thinking we're living in Colombia.

no, they already have armed response units.
