Likewise robbers, drug pushers, extortionists, shoplifters,
illegal parkers, jaywalkers, and politicians.

You might also point out that accused (but innocent) people
also cease to be a societal problem if shot dead.  Just think
of all your tax dollars that this would save!  No more courts
with highly-paid judges (and lowly-paid stenographers) getting
a ride on your taxes!  No more expensive jails to keep up!

As a 6'1", 200-lb male who has often heard women say how
intimidating it is when a man looks at them from across
the street, I somehow feel very unsafe right now.  Maybe
I should just shoot myself, before one of you decides to
do the job and prevent me from committing a crime.  After 
all, if I commit suicide, I won't be a societal problem, 
either.  (Well, someone would have to bury me; maybe I 
should find a way that leaves no body.)

Jeez....
