It's true, but one unstable teenage kid with a semi-automatic rifle in a shopping mall, willing to harm others and himself, is much worse than the worst thug armed with a broken bottle.One person, armed and willing to act in defense of others, is more valuable than the most responsive police force in these situations.
EDIT:
Or is it? CR would disagree. I guess at the end of the day, that's what the entire gun debate boils down to. Which is worse: easy access to guns for criminals/nutters/scuiciders, or a lack of the very best weaponry for self defence.
