2. "Someone has just turned these people into victims"

Someone lawfully owns a gun. They decide one day to walk down the street pointing that gun at other people and threatening to shoot. In fact, every now and then, they fire the gun and kill someone.

I decide to put a stop to it by coming up from behind, taking the gun, and running off with it.

They are now the victim of the theft of their gun.

We could use more victims like that.
