Last month, three men were murdered on the streets of Dublin and as a result, the question has arisen as to whether the Irish police force should be armed with guns.

Battling AK47s with pepper spray and batons isn’t exactly a fair fight – but ironically much of the gardai don’t want the burden of carrying a gun in case they’re involved in an accidental shooting.

Last night we asked you whether you think the gardai should be armed. The results are a resounding Yes they should. 66% or two thirds of you think the gardai should indeed be carrying an armed weapon.
