I don’t know how armed citizens are going to stop the gang conflicts, unless you propose blanketing the city with roving armed vigilante patrols.
I don’t know how militarized police are going to stop gang conflicts, unless you propose blanketing the city with collectivized roving armed patrols.
I really don’t see how in a situation like this and in a free state, armed private citizens are any different, pragmatically speaking, than armed public servants. Except, of course, that the constitutional intent was for the former to have the key rights the latter has by now almost completely usurped.
Is life as a free man too difficult? Is a private force somehow inferior to a public force? Except for the inconvenience to those who would remain free, that is.
