Your suggestion, if implemented, would result in only the wealthy having a right to self preservation. Are you certain it would be a good idea to consolidate even more power into their hands and further entrench their monopoly on violence?

But then no poor person could be blamed for a shooting. And no poor person could blow his/her head off on a very bad day. And police won't fear (that much) about being shot when going to any incident.
