Chucking the acquisition of means of self defence, is a symptom of willful abdication of one's own fundamental right to life, liberty and honour. The only ones to actively abet that are lazy, short-sighted societies.

Such head-in-sand societies want to falsely believe that they can somehow circumvent violence forever & everywhere. Guess what, you can't. There is literally no way to completely prevent or circumvent violence ever. Neither in wildlife nor in human societies.
The issue runs deeper than just Arms acts or availability of weapons. It is of an escapist human psyche that keeps yearning for an excuse to outsource the ab initio responsibility of self protection. It has never worked and never will. You have to accept it,
be prepared to face & overcome violence. Man made institutions like the State can only offer limited macro deterrence. It is foolish to think that they cover for all individuals at all places and times. The history of mankind should have taught us that much at least. If you
aren't ready to acknowledge that your defence is ultimately your responsibility & no one else's. There's a serious problem with your value system & thought process. The debate of acquiring means of self defence comes far after. We've to wriggle out of our psychological knots 1st.
