Why are you so concerned about criminals shot while committing a
crime,and not for the poor guy who suffered repeated burglaries?
What does "violent convictions" have to do with it?

Shooting the crims was a public service.

Well I think that Government should take more active role in this to
make
the country more secure so there is no need to arm everyone just in
case.




And they all realistically admit that they cannot and do not provide
individual protection for any citizen.The police cannot be everywhere at
all times.

So,practically speaking,you are on your own.It's just a matter of what
level of defensive weaponry your government allows you to have.

Note that the criminals are NOT likewise restricted.
