- Government's proffered reason for prohibiting citizens from defending themselves is that state law enforcement will defend citizens against crime.
The claim that the state protects citizens is not only a lie but also a physical impossibility. Numerous studies have shown that police have zero effect in either preventing or reducing crime. (2)
Having armed citizens within a community leaves criminals without the means to determine just who will use force to stop him. This is the only proven deterrent to crime.
A warrior assumes responsibility for his own, his family's, and even his community's safety and protection against violence. This can best be accomplished through the possession of, and training in, firearms.

(2) In a 1972, the Kansas City Police launched a comprehensive, scientifically rigorous experiment to test the effects of police patrol on crime. The study Kansas City preventive patrol experiment concludes that "What they found, in a nutshell, was that police presence had essentially zero impact on crime."
Numerous other studies done since showed no effect on crime by police presence.
