#1 I've always thought the mass shooting phenomenon is just a negligible cost of having the right to protect yourself in the event of being targeted, and the duty to defend your fellow citizens against predators.

Being targeted and being killed are two very different things. People dying at the hands of an insane shooter (that's what they are) are like accident victims, casualties to an aberrant gene or a relative of Screwtape in someone's mind.

To be preyed upon deliberately once you are rendered defenseless is an indignity, an injustice that has no place in the modern world. Only an enemy would wish this upon citizens.

If a state fails to save your life, it can still function as a failed state. If it denies you the very safety the social compact was formed for, it is no longer a state but the enemy.
