Even in UK where there is nearly no guns and video cams everywhere, criminality is still everywhere.

An armed society is a polite society.
I've read one case in the UK where the DA wanted to prosecute a woman who killed her rapist with a knife. He was discussing her plea-bargain and said he could lower her suit to homicide if she was willing to plead guilty. The woman refused.

The DA then offered to lower it still to involuntary manslaughter but still she refused and demanded they go to court.

Fortunately the jury found her not guilty.

Did you know that in the US some states would prefer that a woman be raped instead of allowing her to defend herself with a gun?
