It would solve a lot of problems. Not all of the problems. But a lot.

Not in the US. Most police are extremely conservative and very pro gun. Even though you would think they would want guns off the streets to make their jobs easier, they hold a pretty universal position that people have the right to bear arms and that right should be exercised. The position is a contradiction IMO, but so are a lot of cops. 91% of police support more guns, more concealed carry, and are against a ban on assault style weapons.
