There's a world of difference between your society - the state that you democratically form, and whose values you defend, and someone elses state.

How is enabling gunmen from our society to shoot our children, protecting us all from the actions of an external state?

It seems to me that is a conflation of different, and unrelated, issues in order to justifying an action that lacks a logical defence.

Criminality is criminality. A strong united society can stand better against it, than one riven by division and fear, and fighting amongst itself.
