<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7930012, member: 105571&quot;]Well, I&#039;m not the person claiming that coin theft is an epidemic problem in the U.S.&nbsp; You are, so perhaps you should be the person funding it.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, note that I referred to your characterization as an &quot;epidemic problem&quot;.&nbsp; Those aren&#039;t your words but I believe they accurately describe your position.&nbsp; If that is not your position, what is?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now do I believe coin theft is a problem?&nbsp; Of course. But then I believe theft and crime are a problem regardless of the genre.</p><p><br /></p><p>And once again, you have ducked the fundamental question which is:&nbsp; How big and serious is the US problem of coin theft?&nbsp; Only when we have a handle on that question can we seriously debate the amount and kind of resources we should devote to the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, you confuse efforts to reduce risk and minimize exposure with the impossibility of perfect protection.&nbsp; I have never heard anyone say that you entirely protect yourself with enough guns and protection.&nbsp; I have certainly never made or even implied that is the case.&nbsp; There are, of course, numerous instances where armed people have protected themselves and others from crime but it is not a perfect solution because nothing is a perfect solution.&nbsp; You are indulging in more hyperbole and committing the sin of putting words in other people&#039;s mouths.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
