    No, civilians stop more criminals than the police do. There's no way in hell the communities can be safe if criminals only have guns.

    I'm old enough to identify with the old western gunmen portrayed in movies and TV shows of the 1950-60's, where everyone carried one or two guns and could, and did, use them to protect themselves.

    No. Private citizens stop about ten times as many crimes as the police do.
