Lets refresh your memory: "When the most likely criminal threat faced by person or persons during a burglary, robbery, rape, murder, etc., is a criminal with a firearm, how is it that any right of self-defense precludes arms?"

First of all, I don't believe your contention -- that it is "most likely" a criminal uses a firearm when committing those crimes.

Whatever. I don't see what one has to do with the other. Even if we assume all criminals have firearms or no criminals have firearms, what does that have to do with arming the citizenry?

A community or a city may believe that unarmed citizens are actually safer when facing an armed criminal. Shouldn't they have the right to implement that (assuming, of course, their state constitution allows that)? I didn't realize the constitution was a check on stupidity.
