It is responsible for 700 bad guys dying each year instead of 700 good guys. I’m good with that.

Exactly. Your average career criminal costs society roughly $40K per year to incarcerate which, while expensive, is still a bargain compared to the average $250K per year they cost society in crime if they are not incarcerated.

More killings of perps is actually a very good thing.

Law abiding citizens, OTOH, contribute an average of $8K per year in taxes if they work full time. So you need to have five full time workers to support each perp in prison (excluding all other necessary government services) or 32 of them to support each perp which has not yet been put in prison.

Putting perps in the morgue at the hands of armed citizens is, by far, the most cost effective solution. Nothing else even comes close. We should be giving armed citizens a trophy and paying them a bounty every time they perform such a public service.
