Let's have a debate especially after the tragic shootings of two police officers recently.
I think they should. There is a lack of respect in this country for the police. Something needs to be done about it. Gun crime is rising all the time. Our officers need the 'tools' to do a job and I'm sorry but pepper spray just isn't good enough!

You've been reading too much of the Daily Mail again Sippo. Gun crime in this country is amongst the lowest in the world and that's precisely because the police don't carry guns.
Arm the police and the criminals will arm themselves too. Gun crime will spiral.

Arming the police hasn't exactly curbed violent crime in the US, has it?

Have to say I agree with Samdy.

It's a psychological thing, if someone has a gun you're less likely to try something.

Ha ha no. I can't read you know that. I feel that the time has come for the police to get more protection. Why does the US argument come up all the time? I don't care about them, I care about us. There are other countries where their police are armed.

I don't trust them without guns, the thought of them being armed is horrific. At what point does a copper decide it is the right time to shoot a suspect? How many Gung Ho bonnet rolling old bill will say "Well Chief Superintendent, he pulled a shooter on me so I had to let him have it", knowing it aint nowhere near the truth.
As Samdy said, gun crime in The UK is relatively low, and when incidents such as the shooting of the 2 ladies yesterday happen, it is highlighted more, as it is something that does not happen very often, despite what the scaremongering Daily Mail will have us believe.
It is a big no for me
