I never claimed that. However in a civilized society it is the 
prerogative of the authorities to use deadly force (if necessary) to 
fight crime.

If the US really needs armed civilians to keep the streets save, than 
apparently after more than 200 years you haven't been able to create a 
normal society. Keep in mind that Canada has a somewhat similar history 
with immigration from all kind of people, but Canadians don't feel the 
need to defend themselves with firearms.
