If 8 billion people in the world, your 99.99% leads to 80 million people who would be willing to harm others - a lot of people - where certainly only a fraction of that is enough to create an army for a tyrant; and to which where the second amendment in the U.S. stems from, knowing that only an armed population can counter threats on freedom.

Nit: I don't know that it changes the point, but 0.01% of 8B is 800K.

Hmm.. wow, I sure fucked that up. Thanks for pointing out.

I practically never do math in my head anymore - I either need to practice again to sharpen up a bit or only ever depend on calculators from now on.

And true, 800k is plenty - you just have to recruit existing repeat criminals.
