There is only one way to reduce violence and crime, and only one - tip the balance of fear.
That is when the bad guys fear you more than you fear them. Nothing else will work, because nothing else can work.
Many of the founding fathers iterated this concept in various ways, but they all agree that democracy and liberty will not work for people who need consequences to stop doing bad, i.e. they have no moral fiber to stop themselves.
Therefore, unless we are willing to surrender our liberty to stop the bad guys by giving total power to the government, we must take on the responsibility and be allowed to take on the responsibility ourselves of imposing the consequences and thereby imposing the fear of those consequences.
That is the meaning of "the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun", this should actually begin with "In a free society, the only thing..."
