To clarify my previous point, I believe that officers should have guns if criminals have guns, which doesn't seem to be the case in the UK, unlike most other places. On the mention of escalation, like I said before, that's probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Criminals have...

As some have already said, the states can trace a large amount of the crime to things like gangs and drugs, pretty much no evidence that guns CAUSE the violence.
