I think guns risk escalating things where they don't need to be. I would increase the amount of armed police we have but I would want to keep the division between everyday police and armed police. The latter are specialist units and have the time and training that requires whereas in the US it's just one part of their job.

So increase, maybe dramatically, the number of armed police and have them deployed as a matter of routine in major areas/transport hubs/big events.
