As a physician, I see guns in the population something like vaccinations. If nobody is vaccinated, a carrier of a disease can infect and harm great numbers of the population. But if a certain portion of the population is vaccinated, it keeps the disease from spreading, because every time it contacts a vaccinated individual it dies, and goes no further.
"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it. The law has no remedy for evils, except destruction.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm those only who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicide, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. They ought to be designated as laws not preventive but fearful of crimes, produced by the tumultuous impression of a few isolated facts, and not by thoughtful consideration of the inconveniences and advantages of a universal decree." - Beccaria, "On Crimes and Punishments", 1764

The Marine basically quoted what I learned in the US Army 50 years ago - don't point a weapon at someone unless you intend to use it. My two brothers had been taught the same thing in the Marines and Air Force. All three of us would assume that anyone pointing a gun at us intended too use it against us and would respond accordingly.
