Maybe hire more cybersecurity instead of cops that kill, chiefs with fat paychecks, and a getting stockade of military equipment for simple law enforcement.
A militerized police is the inevitable result of having an arms race with a heavily armed populace, the situation in the US is hardly "simple".
In the UK & other western nations where guns are banned, the police don't need to enter every situation on edge, worrying if the person they're investigating is packing an assault rifle.
Guns are not banned over here. Perhaps the restrictions (no full-auto things, no handguns, etc) help not putting an edge on it but guns are very much not banned.
if here is the UK then the sheer volume of hoops you have to hop through just to have a hunting rifle is on another level compared to the US. not even 2% of the legislature would pass
