We don't have them, even the police are not armed here.

That is of course ********, as the family of Jean Charles de Menezes

The police are NOT armed look at them in the streets. If there are guns
involved in a situation the armed response team will be called.

What happens if the bad guys start shooting before the "special units"
arrive? WTF????

Even our 'bad guys' don't like shooting if they can at all avoid it.
