1. Having a gun without having extensive training is just plain stupid. You will not be a hero when some criminal starts shooting up the place. You will get yourself and others killed.

2. Unless everybody is carrying around guns in the open, the police will harass you if you carry. Given the over-criminalization and selective enforcement, even a lawful, good citizen will probably be arrested and imprisoned if carrying a gun unless everybody else is doing it and the police are afraid.

3. Most police are criminals. They are either directly harming people or they are covering up crimes and obstructing justice. Either way, they are criminals. The state will not prosecute criminal cops unless the video evidence and public outcry is severe. The vast majority of criminal cops get away with their crimes.

4. Criminals carry concealed weapons. Lawful citizens carry in the open. Police target those citizens who carry in the open.

5. Cameras should be equipped with guns and vice versa.

6. The police think they are above the law. Occasionally they mistakenly attack a higher ranking government official. That's bad for them.

8. Guns can serve a legitimate and important purpose, but we need a culture like Switzerland, not a Wild-West / Gangster culture that glorifies violence. Universal training and a respectful attitude regarding the gravity of weapons are critical elements in a successful gun culture.
