GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Duchess]

Then I hate to say this but you are deluded and 100% incorrect.

Vigilante - noun - one who takes the law or advocates taking the law into their own hands.

By refusing to call the police and all arming themselves they are taking the law into their own hands ergo vigilantism.

There really is no way of getting around that.

I don't sanction vigilantism but I do believe in people depending only on themselves when they cannot count on anyone else, in this case the police/neighborhood watch. No one should be forced to be a victim in their own home when they get no satisfaction from those whose job it is to protect them. I don't even like the word victim, it ranks up there with moist & underpants.
