Scattering Weapons Aimlessly no Way to Wage War on Crime

  Would we bring our soldiers to Afghanistan, dump them at the borders of the country, give them a gun, and tell them to wander on in and start fighting?
   That doesn't fit the mode of deployment.
   Fighting a war that way would not make sense. Nor does it make any more sense to suppose we should scatter weapons aimlessly across America in hopes of fighting crime.
   If we did sent soldiers blindly, one by one, into Afghanistan, many would run into armed units that would easily out number them and overpower them, and their newly issued guns would be taken by the enemy. It is no different in our war on crime. Having weapons scattered everywhere leads to many of them to fall into the hands of the enemy, to be stolen and used against us. A good portion of the violent crimes in America are committed with stolen weapons.
   Rather than scattering guns aimlessly, we should deploy our weapons. It is the same with the war on crime as it is with a literal war. This does not mean we do not allow everyone the right to keep and bear arms, but it does mean we should not, as a nation, teach each other that everyone should go out and buy a gun.
   Put guns where they can do some good. Scatter them everywhere and you are leaving them where they can do some harm.
