this is true. but you dont get mutual respect through guns and fear.
No, you get it from an even playing field. Firearms are the great equalizer. If you fear firearms, then that says something about you. Maybe you just assume that anyyone with a gun is someone to be feared?

Plus if that one guy is a real crackshot and is in a good position, he's taking some of those people with him.

Mutual respect is all that keeps law and order in place to begin with.
I'm thinking the numbers game would win out. 1 armed person vs 50 unarmed citizens would be a bloodbath. 1 armed person vs 50 armed citizens would be less of one (friendly fire not withstanding).
Generally people with firearms take classes on how to shoot straight. Makes sense that you learn how to use something correctly before you have a need to use it. You can 'if' something to death, forever. Generally speaking, people who are off their rocker aren't very good shots, or are shooting at things that only exist in their minds.
