Citizens Packing Heat Against Criminals: Isn't this Vigilante Justice?

From a blog in 2015:

  Throw everyone a gun, then.
   I'm not so sure that is the answer to all the gun violence in America, but there is not a shortage of people who believe it is.
   Tell me, how is this not vigilante justice? Isn't the definition of vigilante, a person who belongs to a group of self-appointed citizens who undertake law enforcement on their own, often because they believe law enforcement agencies are inadequate.
  Having a person appointed as the designated crime fighter -- instead of tossing everyone a gun -- has been the more organized way of dealing with law breakers. It's a tradition I wish we'd stick to.
