    That to me seems like it would turn it to vigilantism fast, and that's exactly what maga wants though… thats why they walk around with their open carry, intimidate people they don't THINK belong and feel like a slippery slope…

      I don't think that's what they are talking about. Police forces used to have walking beats and the officers on those beats knew the entire neighborhood. The presence of authority tends to slow down some forms of crime.
