Haha, well message same. Hopefully we don't need to experience every iteration to find the best outcomes - that would be sad. But there are plenty of examples for any number of arguments, and the only thing we can bank on is that the more difficult the target and more complex the attack will be - because by my definition these people are not rational in regard to their survival but dedicated to achieve their intended outcome. Different measures will shape different attacks, and different circumstances can be exploited to achieve the desired effect. I'd focus on defensive protective measures rather then citizen armed response - just because of things like the proliferation issue, potential for confusion which is never a good thing when discussing deadly force etc. Whatever makes it harder for them, without reducing safety, or restricting us.
