WHY do you have to have that much firepower?


During the Rodney King riots in L.A. some years back, there were carloads of gangsters invading quiet neighborhoods throwing molotov cocktails at homes and businesses and spraying them with their assault weapons. They set the city on fire.

My folks' home was located right in the heart of the worst of it. If it hadn't been for the neighbors who stood out front with their weapons, their homes would have gone up in flames, like so many other neighborhoods did. There were several businesses where people stood out front with their weapons to protect those businesses. There simply weren't enough police to go around to protect the people. They had to attend to the dead bodies of the people who were being slaughtered.

Why do they need that much firepower? Imagine yourself in the face of 4 or 5 carloads of rioters with assault weapons and molotov cocktails who have invaded your neighborhood with the sole intention of creating as much mayhem as they can. Is your little pistol going to protect your family, your home, your neighborhood? Are you going to be wishing you had just a little more firepower? How accurate are you with a pistol? I've been practicing for years but I've never been in a firefight and I'm not sure how effective I'd be with a moving target that was firing an assault weapon at me.

Law-abiding John Q. Public needs every millimeter of protection they can get to keep the scum off them.
