That's important. After all, the $50 more in taxes is worth much more than the $hundreds that a gun and ammo will cost, or the $thousands you'll pay for private security.

Double the police force and they still won't protect you, they only try to catch the perp after the fact. You still need to protect yourself, if you don't want to be a victim.

The hundreds (or thousands) for guns and ammo give you the ability to actually prevent or stop a crime rather than waiting for a cop to ask what has already happened to you.

Always remember that when seconds matter, the cops are only minutes away.
