British police have managed well for years with out guns.
As they didn't carry guns many crimnals didn't both and were more likely to wack you round the head not nice or leg it whichever you were far more likely to see tomorrow.
The majority of police still dont carry guns as it seems from what i read and see do very very few crimnals in the grand scheme of things.
I can see your point but surely if there were less guns it be better all round?
