What if it was your child or mine, your grandchild or mine who was the “bad” guy?
I understand the fear that drives a parent to protect, I just think that we have to do better.

The old west style existed only in John Wayne movies. The hero would shoot a hangman's rope from 1000 yards away mounted on a horse with his trusty colt 45 pistol. Pistols were expensive.
Most people were armed with shotguns.
Like most things my view is freedom of choice and responsibility for your actions.
