Imagine if, as soon as someone started robbing a bank, the police showed up and stopped them.

The second one I like to an extent. Its true if you have a government whose objective is to protect its citizens and nothing else. Democrats want a government that actively helps people. If implemented correctly I'd want that government's attention. As with most things, ideas are easy, good implementation is hard.

Why stop there? Government could monitor all potential bank robber's communications, or hell, even profile them, send in undercover agents to infiltrate their circles and provide them with fake bank-robbing tools, ideal target bank locations, and moral support.
