You want us to go backwards in evolution? It didn't work back then, and it won't work now.

Yes police are suppose to prevent crime. Why do banks, jewelry stores, large malls, etc... have armed guards walking around? Should we make mace illegal? Police can stop crimes.
So you are okay when police get into gun fights but not a store owner defending his life and property. Why is that what's the difference?
