I mean civilians in northern Ireland can carry handguns and it doesn’t cause problems
Has there not just been yet another copper outed as a rapist? And we want to give these people more weapons?
Dread to think what will happen when they turn up to the next peaceful vigil of a persons death if they have more deadly weapons.
It makes sense, this isn’t America. Police almost never actually need guns, and generally criminals are less dangerous if they are more afraid of getting charged with a gun-related crime than they are of getting shot by police.
The last IRA bomb attack on police was November. Is the threat level really decreasing that much?
Honestly good. Its probably going to be a while before we’re there yet, but thinking about this in terms of long term plans is a good idea.
I doubt their be anyone unhappy when when the PSNI do not need to regularly carry guns.

Given the propensity for which peelers in the 6 have for shooting themselves and colleagues, it might be safer to relieve all of them.
