Personally, I think you're antagonizing the issue by telling them "so that you can kill people, ha ha."
You're all but begging to be asked the followup question, which is only going to lead to more annoyance. Sure its tiring, but you invited them to go there to begin with. IMO, I would just tell them "Same reason you have insurance". Of course they'll respond "I don't expect to get robbed." and you say "I bet you don't expect to get in a car accident either."
End of conversation. I mean, they can push it if they want but further arguments only get easier to dismantle. "But that's what the police are for." Reply: "Police are fine, but how long is it going to take them to get there? Seen the news lately?"
I guess I'm just saying don't make your life any harder. Responding "To kill people" only opens up cans of worms, not closes them.
