That sound like "everyone who does not carry around a gun is a potential nutcase who would snap if they got ther hands on one." Is that what you want to imply?

Random people being armed just escalates the whole thing, because robbers generally come more prepared than those who get robbed are.
That is why the police shoots first as soon as someone moves in some countries, because everyone could carry a gun even a six year old on a playground.
