39. That is one of the great problems of a free society.
so we need to find a way to stop them from murdering people before they get there.

Crime prevention will almost always mean that free people have to surrender some of their freedom for security. Where the line is drawn and which line to draw is always a point of controversy.
Since criminals don't bother to obey laws, most preventive laws have little actual effect, and many make the problem worse.
