One of the key points missing is something police and law enforcement have known for years. Visible uniformed ARMED security is a deterrence to crime.
Why is that? Do unarmed guards stop robberies? Do unarmed people stop them? Your chances of being a victim are far greater than if you are armed. What stopped the recent beheading? Was it the police that arrives minutes later? Was it because unarmed good guys confronted the single knife wielder? Or was it because the CFO was carrying and shot the terrorist? How different may have 9/11 been if the pilots had been armed? The simple FACT is that firearms are tools. They can be used by bad guys or governments to control or terminate life. They can be used by criminals to rob the defenseless. Firearms can also be used to resist bad guys and tyrannical governments. Guns are just tools. They are not inherently good or evil. Like all inanimate objects, they don't harm on their own.
