When I read this, my jaw just hit the desk. You are advocating the

concept
that a life is worth less that a few material goods. Don't you have
third party insurance in the US?


Where I live, we have the highest automobile theft rate in the US.


Aren't the criminals deterred by the armed citizens?

Welll,due to those who are against people using,carrying,or even owning
firearms,most US citizens do not own guns,nor carry them.Thus the chances
of criminals encountering armed citizens is not high enough yet to deter
such crimes.And in many states,defending property with lethal force IS
illegal,protecting the criminals,making it safer for them to commit such
crimes.

ISTR that in the so-called "Wild West",where many people were armed,people
could leave doors unlocked,horses unattended,without much fear of theft.
