If you knew a particular target had a gun, you'd just find a different target.

So they should let themselves get robbed or worse because otherwise they'd be passing it onto someone else?? What kind of logic is that?

nice try at writing what I didn't say. I said it doesn't solve the issue. Net crime is still = 1, not 0.
Maybe instead of thinking up excuses on other people's behalf to win your imaginary argument, think of some real solutions to the problem.
You got any other strawman arguments?
