True, but I prefer local nutters to be armed with a butter knife rather than an assault rifle.... Both might kill, but the probability is different.
Of course, part of the reason I raise the example is because I'm actually a strong supporter of the US 2nd amendment. Indeed I believe it should go further, following Madison - that standing armies should be abolished in favour of the well-regulated civilian militia.
