I disagree with dk, but you do your argument a disservice by making light of a very serious, systemic problem. There are frequent and regular incidents of extreme police violence, particularly against minorities. Sad to say, but Americans are so used to these stories that most get lost in the local news. I doubt you heard about the Milwaukee cops who stomped all over Frank Jude. There has been an outrageous string of police shootings in Cincinnati. In 2003, police brutality provoked riots in Benton Harbor, Michigan. On the other hand, i'm sure you have heard of Abner Louima or Rodney King, or perhaps the police assasinations of nearly all the Black Panther leadership.

Communist (e.g. the Black Panthers) or anarchist solutions assume a functioning community, something that is not present in dk's world. dk seems to inhabit a post-apocalyptic world where all social institutions save the police have broken down. If that's your vision of the world, putting together a cellar arsenal makes perfect sense.
