Tim, Re: <If violent crime keeps going up in the UK then arming at least the police will probably become necessary.>

I disagree.

Armed crime should punishable by a completely different schedule than unarmed crime.

Arming for crime indicates premeditation of murder.

Commission of a serious/potentially violent crime while armed should be prosecuted and punished as seriously as attempted murder.

While I do not think general arming of the police is a good thing there are times and places for everything, so selectively armed police forces make a lot of sense to me.

Tim, recent immigrants from gun common places like afghanistan and other states in that area have resulted in a large number of people with no money and the lack of a bias against gun use...thus more gun crimes.

There would be a few guns taken from police and a few cops would use their guns for crime.
the liberal press would make a lot of it, but it would not be much.

Bill
