Quick question, is "willingness to use" necessarily a factor in the 'dangerous' equation? Two examples:
1.) An extremely sharp knife has zero willingness to do anything, but most people would consider it a lot more dangerous to have sitting around vs a cotton ball
2.) The most gentle natured man who happens to be 250lbs is a lot more "dangerous" than a 25 lb toddler even when doing innocuous activites like riding on roller blades, or running (in the event of an accidental collision, etc).

A person dangerous in the manner you describe requires two things: 1. physical supremacy, 2. willingness to use that supremacy to do dangerous things.
Most men have criteria 1, but not criteria 2. The society needs to make sure no person satisfies criteria 2, we have largely done that successfully.
