UK guns and the Police  email this discussion to a friend?

I've lived in the UK for the last 4 years now and I've come across real fear of the guns in this country. And it is not only regarding an average citizen bearing a gun but also regular police force equipped only with a whistle to tackle often heavily armed criminals. Some of the UK readers might say: but we have armed police. It's all good but think of response time-how many armed units are there? Are they gonna make it on time? How many officers got shot because criminals know that they don't have guns and can't fire back? I am affraid it's in consequence to years of washing peoples brains out and telling them what to do. It works in so many other countries out there why it doesn't in Britain?

Having lived out of the UK for 25 years, and seeing Police with AK47's elsewhere, I appreciate gun-free police. I think the problem is that tunnel and EU membership.
Britain as an island, customs and passport control, and few actual gun shops kept guns out of everyone's hands for years gone past.
I want to see Europe go back to separate countries with border control. Criminals in the past didn't get guns from a passport free day trip to Le Touquet! They just didn't have guns!

Well I've already heard voices from local people that the whole EU is gonna colapse sooner or later. People here in the UK mostly the older folk are definately against EU concept and I don't blame them- if it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks for your opinion Petersum!
