Seinfeld had this idea in 90s. Jerry: "Have the police carry brooms while they're standing around they can sweep up." Or something like that :)
Private services will always beat state run monopolies... At least that's my opinion. Now, not all first responders are state workers. Some are private already. Private security already outnumbers gov cops in the US. Most people don't realize this. The state limits their effectiveness.
I'll say this, if you think the outcry against police violence is loud now, if you saw a private company doing it they company would feel the impact and respond far faster than a government. Governments are much more resistant to public pressure. That's my view at least.
Regardless, I think we are headed to private security increase for those that can afford it and the poor get the crappy police that don't prevent crime but "respond". So the anti-free market people will end up getting what they claim will be the outcome of true free markets anyway.
I think in many areas we are seeing anarcho tyranny where people are punished for protecting their lives and properties and criminals are protected by the refusal of the state to enforce laws and protect "citizens".
The 2A movement needs to move towards framing the argument away from the Constitution and towards defense being the natural state of being a human. No one should be punished for defending themselves. Period. This goes beyond guns and any written document. It's basic common sense and the weak and women are the most at a loss when guns are banned or any tool to defend one's self.
