In most civilized European countries, only the Swedish and German polices are always armed. Same guns even, Sig Sauers or Glocks. In most countries in Western Europe, the governments actually draw the consequenses from the gun laws: The citizens aren't allowed to be armed in public. Ergo: the police isn't allowed to be armed in public, unless an armed criminal turns up. Then they go to the station and get their guns. What do you have to say about this, anti-gunners? It's right of the cops, isn't it? They're our nannys and protectors.
