Maybe something for everyone to agree on:
Guns do not deter burglars. Why not? Because they don't know you have a gun.
But, what if everyone had a gun? Or if I put up a sign? Well then there would be more burglaries, not less.
They'd be after that gun.
Burglars do not want to encounter people. They break in when the house is empty.
Home invasion, that's another, much rarer, matter. But this is about burglaries.
