    Okay, sure. I wish people didn’t steal, kill, and rape too but it happens. Just the reality.

          Instead of arming civilians for vigilantism pressure should be put on the government to deal with the root causes of criminal behaviour.

          As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t the death penalty, but here you are saying a citizen dealing out that punishment without a judge or jury isn’t only acceptable but should be actively encouraged.
