2. The above.
3. The difference in our approach seems to be mainly in the attitude towards independent action. Let's take the often-posed question of "if attacked or mugged, would having a gun make things worse?"
Our view is that a gun is just another option to use or not to use. Having the means to control the situation is better thanrelying on some psycho's mercy.
Their view is that it would make things worse, anger the perp further.
They also feel that fighting back with means other than a gun would not make the per more angry; at least they do advocate resistance. Likewise, they are willing to call police who would bring guns and protect them.
So the question is, how does one recommend actions to people who feel that their own response would make things worse.
