That's a valid concern. However, it's important to remember that policing is not just about firepower. Many nations with considerably less militarized police forces manage to maintain law and order effectively. For example, in the UK, the majority of police officers don't carry guns, yet they have significantly lower gun crime rates. Community policing, crime prevention, and addressing root causes of crime such as poverty and lack of education could be more effective strategies. What are your thoughts on this approach?
