Topic	Ok, a hot take, but hear me out.

So all this will do is reduce their body count. You can't predict them, but you can stop them. uwnim posted... I disagree with it missing the mark. It comes naturally from your idea. Starting from your idea, the pressing question is how do we ensure the guns actually get used? The person being attacked can't reliably use them as the attacker has their gun already out and will immediately pull the trigger if they feel the victim is attempting to get out their gun. So we are relying on a third party. People are rather unreliable. Often they will try to ignore the situation to avoid taking on any risk to themselves. This is an issue, and a solution is to create our own third party that has getting involved as their primary goal. This leads to the death drone idea. No. You're implying that people will just resort to murder instantly. Some people might, but guess what, if you're getting robbed, chances are, you won't be shit instantly. Once you realize you're being robbed, call your fellow citizens for help. Even one person is enough to help, so I don't believe the bystander effect applies to these situations, as more than likely, many people will try to help. (See earlier mugging examples.) Unless you're a necrophiliac, you wouldn't murder someone before you sexually assault them. Giving the victim plenty of time to deal with it themselves, or call for help. Someone who is busy destroying your property, isn't focused on murdering you at that moment. So once they start destroying, get the jump on them, fire first. The physical assault is where it gets tricky, as some people in this case, may use their firearms rashly, but again, they should be motivated not to, as it will result in them being shot. Many people who try to commit crimes don't want to become murderers. So if they know all of their potential victims, and everyone around them is armed, they're less likely to try anything. --- The best advice my dad ever gave me was, "Life's full of idiots, don't be one." <cite>PaunchyTurtle53 posted [p:952442833] in Ok, a hot ...
