Am I fine with that? Yes. Do I wish the system better? Yes. Do I think that armed civilians enforcing the law is a much more flawed system with a huge potential for failure? Yes. Do I want you or any other armed civilians responsible for protecting me or my family? Absolutely not.

then you're living in the right city, because thats exactly what you have. You aren't even allowed to be responsible for your own families safety.
as an afterthought, it dumbfounds me that some of the attitudes that people have about life, especially their own. On top of that, the pitiful opinions that they have in regards to the capabilities of others compared to the ideas that they have about their own as well. It's no wonder this country has gone to hell in a handbasket when people feel they know whats right for everyone else. You say you are fine with the flawed system, I take that to mean that if your kids are killed in front of you because the cops could not get there in time, you're fine with that and thats just plain pathetic. To view life in such a callous fashion is just beyond my comprehension. what is wrong with you people?
