Very grey area i would think personally. Hear me out.
In the USA where everyone can own a firearm (if you have the license), robbers will actually think twice of robbing a house because there's a change where the owner of that targeted house owns a gun, what more a rifle.
Even when u're trying to rob someone on the streets, you have to be careful else you might rob your own life away if so happens the target has a gun hidden somewhere.
In malaysia, its different. Why? Cause everyone knows you're not allowed to own any sort of firearm so if you're a robber with a gun, you have the advantage if you want to rob a house or a person on the street.
Pros and cons, that's why i mentioned its grey area. Giving firearm license to everyone will make a town like a cowboy town.
The Mutually Assured Destruction theory was extended from this theory too I guess. While it may hold water, but it has its drawback too; i.e. those without firearms may even be weaker now.In the USA where everyone can own a firearm (if you have the license), robbers will actually think twice of robbing a house because there's a change where the owner of that targeted house owns a gun, what more a rifle.
