Who thinks policemen should be armed with revolvers?

If I remember correctly, you are from Britain? 

I hear crime is skyrocketing there, and that sometimes robbers rob homes while the residents are home.  The criminals just tell them to not resist, and that everything think will be ok.  At least that's why I read in the excellent book "The Seven Myths of Gun Control." 

Now regarding policemen being armed, presumably, they would be trained before going out on the street.  Our police in the U.S. are trained.

If I were a police officer, a Barrett .50 would do well in this day and age with all the scum polluting the streets.  I guess I'd have to settle for a Desert Eagle......50cal...LOL ;)   It is too bad Canada, Britain and Europe have collapsed into Socialism with the lies of political correctness in that "guns kill" but seem to miss the entire point of the A-hole pulling the trigger.  Is it logical to blame the $700.00 1978 Dodge Ram truck for running over people or the drunk illegal alien driving?  Another fraud of the Left.....sort of like evolution....

   I heard on Hannity today that police officers were not allowed to carry their guns onto the Virginia Tech campus, and would not have had the firepower to stop the shooter as a result of this.

I heard Savage say that this evening...  There wouldn't have been much anyone could do in such a case... 

Scriabin:
He had a vest, many clips (obviously) and two pistols. 

He gave this plot a great deal of thought apparently.
