Lazy, hollow argument Res, and if anything you may have handed the debate to them with your "mentally ill society".
If men and women, who are being trained to defend their country cannot defend themselves, something is wrong. It leads one to think they are not a defensive force but an offensive one. That actually fits the current world geopolitical activities better considering all the interventions they have been instigated on foreign soil.
If men and women in society cannot defend themselves, these situations will happen wherever the weakest link is, and that currently is gun free zones.
Maybe in the future at some point we will have all bought into the non-aggression principle and it will no longer be an issue, but until then self defense is a basic instinct.
