And there's 150k people that agree with that retarded logic. Even ignoring the firearm ownership and the deterrent angle, what are police supposed to do if you're mugged? By the time they arrive it's over. You want them to apologise to you and hand you their phone and wallet as compensation? The notes they take are time/place and a description. Then they either drive around looking for such a person or go fill in their paperwork. Maybe they'll find someone, maybe they'll need a few more reports or witnesses before they do.

Or if they're anything like the UK they won't even consider it a crime if you don't lose a certain amount of money, and just ignore your call. Or if they're black. Cause y'know, black people don't commit crime in the UK. Diversity is our strength.
