From time to time, there a huge row over bobbies being issued firearms. I think it was 2003 that some chief got thrown into the mix because there were a couple cops killed in the street, and several hundred residents showed up at the police station to demand "action". It got shut down at the county level, but it was the first time the argument made the news.
"Gun control" is great when you can control your borders and imports. Britain used to be able to do that, and now they're joining the rest of the world. I EXPECT to hear of multiple fistfights breaking out in Parliment over the issue. When I start hearing about kung-fu moves being pulled in the House of Lords, with wigs and hairpins flying in people's eyes, then I'll know the issue is finally being taken serious by Brittons. Until I hear about fistfights, the issue is non-existent.
