I personally think we should be legally obligated to shoot them with our legally-mandated guns. I mean, if more guns makes for a safer society, the government should issue guns to the citizenry and give them training ... and then turn them loose. i can't see any real downside to this. Anybody else?
But requiring training is coercive. Clearly, untrained firearms users are more of a boon to the social order than people who know where the safety is.
