That doesn't answer the hypothetical. Are you saying you'd call the cops? What do you do when the killer is coming for you with their gun?
Call the cops, yes. Defend myself if necessary inasmuch as the law allows, because I agreed to be bound by the law. If I live in a rural area and the cops are far away, using violence to defend myself may be the only option.
But whether it's by me or the state, my violent neighbor will be stopped by a greater amount of violence.
