If you’re terrified of being shot you won’t mind having armed police everywhere.

But that's why I'm terrified of being shot

The only way to assuage your fear of being shot is to arm more people.

To arm more police people, that is. Not ordinary people. Most people in the world have some degree of mental instability, and humans are too quick-tempered and unable to control their impulses. I do not want such people armed with guns at all.
