The area is way too big for officers to cover it effectively. The pirates are going to have guns, guaranteed. With that being the case, people moving through the waters should be allowed a chance at defending themselves. The way it is now, pirates have guns and their victims don't. That represents what happens in any dangerous area where guns are illegal. Criminals love situations like that. People who obey the law don't.

Every government in the world knows that if they invaded the U.S., they would have the most powerful military in the world to deal with AND tens of millions of citizens with guns. That is why we will never be invaded by a military.
