Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the fact of the Russian citizens resisting the German forces that kept the Germans out of Stalingrad? I agree that having an armed population wouldn't avoid the persecution of minorities. In fact, since the United States has an overall anti-prejudiced disposition, minorities in some parts of the country would be safer if the military had a monopoly on guns. On the other hand, it seems that somebody like those two kids in Colorado, who made bombs in their spare time, probably would have managed to get a gun (legally or not).

One more thing: Paranoia is not the only reason to own a gun. I personally enjoy target shooting.
