When I was a kid it was normal to see people wandering around with guns. I lived in a village and you would often see kids with toy guns or air guns and others wandering off to the fields with shotguns.
Nowadays, you try it and you would get shot for carrying a realistic looking toy gun let alone the others.
I didn't feel unsafe then and I don't feel unsafe now.
Other countries police have always carried guns, it is a shame that our police are now doing the same because of whats happening. After all, a truncheon is no use against an AK47 is it.
The army are on the streets today because of two things. 1, not all the police are trained to carry firearms (unlike other countries) and the police forces have been cut back so far that there just aren't enough of them to show a presence these days.
