To the Crown if I recall. Govt decides how much money Police get.

I assume thats because they can't afford them

Pretty much. I would rather live in a free society than give up guns for the greater good, just because a psycho or islamist might get one. Especially considering the state and the media as it were...

I would be ok with police carrying firearms if they demonstrated some trust towards the public and our own firearms usage.

Islamic militants will never get past stage 3 because they are fucking idiots. Have you not seen how they conduct themselves on the battlefield? They are as dangerous to each other as they are to one...

But again none of what he is asking for will help make his members safer. How many police officers have been attacked with a .50 calibre rifle? How will registering guns stop criminals from stealing...

Because none of what he suggests will actually stop a mass shooting and he is clearly using the idea of a mass killing to sell his crusade.
