If you lived in a neighborhood, where you had to carry a weapon to defend yourself from the creeps in the neighborhood, people would be demanding the Police do something about it, because people should feel safe walking the streets. That is one of the primary functions of government ... safety of the populace.


But it's ok if folks think they need to carry a weapon, to protect themselves against attack by someone's animal? That's not a failure of government? It's ok that folks needed to be armed, so they feel safe?
