No, because most of them are, in one way or another, doing something
about it, if only hardening their domiciles to make burglary/home
invasion less likely to avoiding high-crime areas[1] to taking care to
avoid identity theft.

And even if they're not *actually* doing those things, they *intend*
to - which is basically what your trying to do anything about
government would probably amount to, i admit.
