“Conservative police spokesman David Ruffley said: “Poor ministerial planning means police officers are being thrown into gun hotspots without being properly equipped.”
He added: “This is yet further evidence that this Government, despite imposing a ban on handguns and pledging to tackle violent crime, has presided over a steady increase in the everyday use of weapons on Britain’s streets.”
‘twas the Conservatives that all but banned handguns as I well know from 10yrs ago. They can take a hike if they think they’re going to make political capital out of it.
and it was the Daily Mail along with all but one of the rest of the UK press that actively supported the ban.
So MP5s with holosights are NOT the equipment issued to armed LEOs?
