The thing is dk, that if there was adequate gun control way back when, the LA Riots would not have been so violent, or so lawless. Guns point both ways.
But, I accept that in the US, things have gone too far - there are too many guns freely available for anyone, be they criminal, rioter, law abiding citizen, or paranoid parking-lot sniper to get their hands on.
In that world, you're damn right I would want to be armed.
Isn't that a shame though? To live in so much fear that you have to plan ahead for the day when you have to shoot your countrymen in order to defend your family and your own property.
That is not something to be proud of.
Any country who's citizens feel these levels of fear and distrust among their own people, is in serious trouble. No wonder there are so many stories of people shooting first and asking questions later.
