What is the case for not?
I don't see a problem with having armed officers on our streets - it shows we mean business. Most countries in Europe do - with all these murdering religous nutters about it has become a necessity. We don't know what innocent lives might be saved by doing so. It's about being prepared for any situation and saving lives.
Besides with all those hate-filled terrorists out there with guns, bombs and god knows what else I would much prefer the good guys were suitably armed as well.
