It further states that he has multiple IDs and expressed interest in raping children and murdering their parents. But no mention of guns or explosives.I do prefer accuracy in reporting.
Is that good reporting?

Its why reasonable countries have strict controls on their use and its only countries like the US, Afghantistan and Somalia that just let people walk around with that kind of stuff.
They are also very good tools for self defense.
If you feel safe by being helpless - that's up to you.
Have at it. You can be the designated victim..
Now don't struggle - that's vigilantism..
I do feel perfectly safe. My country is mainly a safe country.
