With no training. If these people HAD been allowed to buy all the guns they wanted a LOT more people would have been hurt and killed. If you want a gun for self preservation, that's fine. I don't even have a problem with that (Just because the 2nd doesn't give you the right to it, it should be pointed out that the 2nd does not TAKE AWAY that right either. I have no problem with you having a gun as long as you're trained and responsible with it). But I DO have a problem with someone who is panicking (and who wouldn't panic in the middle of a citywide riot) and who buys a gun, never having any training with it, and then runs around trying to "defend" themselves. I'm frankly surprised that you would be in favor of this happening, since you claim to be such a responsible gun owner.

how in the hell did you get that perception out of that one paragraph? I know you are not that dense.
If you would read it correctly, you would see that I'm slamming the gun control advocates who preached that nobody needed a gun, the police would be there to protect them, lets have waiting periods and background checks for people to make it harder to get a gun, and then when they found out that YES, you need a gun to protect yourself because you never know when the shit will hit the fan and the police are not always there to protect you and waiting periods are useless when you actually need the gun RIGHT THEN.
and I have to say, you have a seriously warped perception of some things, like the right to self preservation. I can assure you that 95% of the people in this country, when it came down to death/dying or shooting anything that moves and staying alive, that 95% will shoot anything that moves because people choose to live. your philosophy of all of these people causing more deaths is ludicrous considering that they wanted the gun IN THEIR HOMES, and not to take on the streets with them.
