        Instead of arming civilians for vigilantism pressure should be put on the government to deal with the root causes of criminal behaviour.

        As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t the death penalty, but here you are saying a citizen dealing out that punishment without a judge or jury isn’t only acceptable but should be actively encouraged.
