In reference to the gist of this thread.....
Google;
police nationwide urge citizens to arm themselves
But not in Australia.
Not in a country like Australia.
In Australia, the government wants to retain
exclusively to itself [and to retain to those who are
its own servants and agents], .....the authority and means to 'lawfully' kill human beings. .....ostensibly, to exercise the right of self defence of their own persons ?
e.g.
Governments in Australia are willing to give .40 cal
Glock pistols to people who have been found to be using methamphetamine ['ice']. !!!!!
In the USA, law-abiding citizens of that country have recourse to the 2nd amendment of their national Constitution - to be able to retain the right to hold arms, peacefully.
But in Australia, a law-abiding citizen [even a citizen with no criminal convictions, ever] must never be trusted or permitted, to have the most dependable and practical means to defend himself/herself against a violent criminal.
.
For the context of the situation described above [that govts in Australia today, are recklessly giving
Glock pistols, to people who are using methamphetamine ['ice']] , see the news report, cited.
