Tell that to the innocent shop owners that have lost their livelihoods, and likely life savings. That argument is akin to saying if people just hand over everything to robbers or during a home invasion...or if rape victims just don't fight back then nobody gets hurt.

If someone tries to steal my TV or anything else when I am there then some criminal is not going to live to see another sunrise. And I would be in my legal right to do so. Sir I felt my life was in danger from this individual. Case closed.

Because unlike Merry old England....we have guns and are allowed to protect our property. In MOST of the United states anyway....except in certain liberal enclaves where criminals rights exceed those of the law abiding citizens.
