Yes I believe violence is never the solution, but since there are people out there that don’t share my ideas, I need to keep some police officers around to keep me safe and some military personal to keep my country safe.

To keep the peace it's all or nothing. Nobody has weapons or everybody has weapons. Since the former is pretty hard to achieve, the latter must happen.

Yeah this line of thought is essentially what causes the US to have more mass shootings than basically any other western country.

Perhaps my line of thinking is way too anarchist. But what I'm saying is once the cat is out of the bag, there's no putting it back in. People who want guns can get guns. They can get their friends to legally purchase them. All the school shooters had legal firearms so I would imagine a terrorist could obtain one.

Does everybody include convicted serial killers?

Especially them. I don't feel safe around the police without a serial killer in my vicinity.

Technically, there are police officers who qualify as serial killers.

I think it's three or more separate killings nets you basic serial killer status. There are officers who easily meet that criteria.
