People carry guns either to impose their will on other people or to avoid having other people's will imposed on themselves. Neither of those motivations go away if the police stop carrying guns.
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf the police aren't threatening to shoot you then you don't need a gun to shoot back.
- hirundo 6y agoAs if the police were the only such threat, and the crime that police are supposed to protect us from isn't significant. Without police, I'd be more inclined to carry and I don't think that would be unusual.
- throwaway894345 6y agoThis assumes criminals only carry guns to defend themselves against police shootings, which is obviously and amusingly incorrect.
