In US cities in 2025 there were 19 homicides for every 1000 aggravated assaults.
The vast majority of times a person 'lays their hands' on another are not prosecuted as an aggravated assault.
If you're not in a city, the odds are even better. In the US in 2022, 1.8 million people visited the emergency department of a hospital because they had been assaulted. Only 22,830 people were murdered. Most times someone 'lays their hands on' a person, that person does not end up in hospital.
Even without considering the impact on your life if you succeed, if you live in the US and think your plan of trying to shoot dead anyone who lays their hands on you has even a 2% chance of backfiring catastrophically, then it's not a plan that will result in better outcomes for you.

EQUINUNK, PAβWatching as more than 1 million people took to the streets in violent demonstrations across France, U.S. residents reported Friday that the intensity of the French protests must mean something crazy happened with the way M&Mβs are marketed over there. βSeeing how passionate these protesters are leads me to believe theyβre angry about a very serious matter, like a candy brand altering its cartoon mascot so that she no longer conforms to my very specific ideas about femininity,β said 49-year-old Pennsylvania resident Chase Henderson, who along with millions of other Americans reacted with a knowing nod to footage of cars being turned over and buildings set on fire, having identified anthropomorphic candy-coated chocolates as the sole possible source of upheaval. βI know that I wanted to riot when they made the green M&M character less sexually appealing to me by taking away her go-go boots. Maybe in France they did something even worse, like giving one of the M&M guys a lisp, which would certainly upset me. If that happened, I might suddenly become confused about which M&M I most wanted to fuck.β At press time, reports confirmed the weeks-long uprising in France was in fact a response to a new television ad in which a female M&M character is seen wearing a hijab.
