Good, looking through history and how self defence is treated in different cultures and states, this is the best policy.

Criminals will get weapons no matter what so no point in restricting them, the best course is easily letting everyone arm themselves to the point criminals are scared to even act like assholes because of instant retribution.

Now if only you could remove restrictions on what KIND of weapons you can get. I've seen how much redneck's weapons are superior to military grade, I wanna see what they can do if unleashed on a tank or AC-130..
