Yep, I think it was England, IIRC right now... (Kinda tired here... LOL). No guns allowed even for the police. VERY scary if you ask me...

Nah I live here. It’s not scary at all. We don’t have the gun crime rate and gun murder rate that America has (thankfully). Brits have never known the average policeman on the street to have guns so what you’ve never had you never miss.

I’m perfectly happy with the status quo. I’ve never encountered anybody with a gun and I don’t know anybody who has encountered anybody with a gun.

It’s just not a big problem here. Sure, gun murders do happen but it’s an infinately small ratio compared to the U.S.A.

The average copper on the street, unless in certain areas, have no need to carry guns in England.

We do have SWAT like teams and other branches of the police that carry guns though but not your average bobby.

You think policeman not carrying guns in England is scary? Fair enough. Conversely I think the gun murder rate in the U.S.A is scary. Incidents like this latest one are all too common in America. Very very scary.
