So, the original post suggests that ownership of a rifle negates the need for police.
I countered with a statement saying it does not.
Your counter to my statement is that it will do wonders in the hands of, say, a police officer, therefore reaffirming my point that police are still necessary.
A person who is responsible and competent with a firearm probably won't need the police to protect their home. And I mentioned a school security guard: that's essentially a policeman assigned to protect a school.
Thus, police are necessary overall, but one person with a firearm can probably protect their home from a handful of intruders.
