The problem with society is the "citizens" are not allowed to stand up to the criminals and that task has been delegated to the government. I don't advocate taking the law into ones own hands but a person sitting on their front porch, on their own private property; with a shotgun and his wife with an AR sends a strong message to unwanted gang members and drug dealers wandering through the neighborhood. We live in fear of criminals and we live in fear of our government.
