The armed-citizen solution to crime in the streets : so many criminals, so few bullets

Crime can only be stopped in America if we take responsibility for our own safety. Arming and organizing volunteers into self-defense alliances has proven to be the most effective way of halting crime and making neighborhoods safe places to live, work and raise kids. Find out how groups all over America have done this. The rationale for the organized citizen armed response to crime is that crime is rampant in the United States and law enforcement and the criminal justice system have broken down. The appropriate response in such a situation is for citizens to arm themselves, learn to use their weapons in self-defense, and take to the streets in an organized fashion, using weapons for self- defense and the defense of families and neighbors. The author advises that he does not support vigilantism in the sense of going after criminals after they have committed crimes and escaped. The role of the armed defense alliance is to stop crimes in progress or dissuade the criminal from even trying to commit crimes through citizen vigilance; cooperation with police; and a legally armed presence on the streets, in homes, and at public meeting places. This book's chapters provide a detailed plan for organizing, recruiting, and implementing a community self-defense group. They explain the pitfalls of such groups, including getting around restrictive gun-control measures and avoiding adverse publicity. Case studies show how armed alliances have succeeded in making their neighborhoods safe places. The author also warns that even more dangerous than the street criminal are the criminal "tyrants" who would seek to disarm citizens through gun control laws Val kriminala v Ameriki se nezadržno širi tudi v manjša mesta in na podeželje. Odgovore na vprašanji, kdo je odgovoren za tako stanje in kako zaustaviti kriminal, išče avtor knjige predvsem v samih državljanih in njihovih pravicah do samoobrambe. Zavzema se za prostovoljne skupine oboroženih državljanov, ki bi poskrbele za varnost lokalnih skupnosti, v katerih živijo in delajo. Podrobno opisuje načrt glede organizacije, rekrutacije in izvajanja programa lokalne samoobrambe in samoorganiziranosti državljanov v boju proti kriminalu
