Who thinks policemen should be armed with revolvers?

cosmokramer:
Is it just me. But I think police should just carry standard Smith & Wesson model 10 revolvers or a S&W model 22 45. caliber. The whole idea to have service weapon is to use it to kill. The perpatrator pulls out a weapon. No warning, just bam, off to the morgue you go. These policemen get glocks and other autos that can jam up thus putting the officer in danger. The only thing they should have automatic is an m-16 machine gun. Forget the automatic pistols. Revolver and m-16 on you at all times. That seems good to me. If I went into law enforcement, I would take the revolver. A mix of old school and new school. ::)

Yes indeed.

In my country police don't have guns at all...

This is something about which I have mixed views, they need guns to defend themselves from criminals with guns, but if they have guns there's always the chance of criminals taking guns from them, in which case a policeman could be shot that otherwise would not have been shot.
