If somebody goes around murdering people here’s what will happen: they will get murdered.
People have guns, it’s almost always a fair fight now.

Who will stop them? How about the brother of somebody he killed. Or their father? Or a witness?

100% of crimes are stopped by people. Not the government. 100% of criminals are stopped by people. Not the government.
If that happens, it’s going to be like those feuds that you read about in Mark Twain’s books.

And that won’t stop them. The damage will already be done.
Yes, except that results in angry people with their judgement compromised getting to make important decisions.

Okay, so: one crazy dude explodes an entire neighbourhood. No government-->no workers paid for fixing the damage

Don’t let the government trick you into thinking it’s a necessary middleman.
#64 so someone sees the witness shot the murderer, so he thinks to shot him too, and we go on and on like that?
#76 bro when that happens we pay the government
They would be stopped by random other people, except that’s mob justice, which isn’t great.
