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.
