Criminals might be stupid but they arent crazy.
Why do cops need to carry guns? Are our lives worth less than a cop? Why make us to defend our selves with useless weapons. Ive been shot at once, and I can say I'm still very anti gun control. I am also very anti war on drugs.
A view of defense as violence only breeds more violence. Running away is still your best bet for not getting beat up, they can't beat you up if you're not standing in front of them.
