I lived in LA during the Rodney King riots. If you don't own a gun, take a class and buy one. You could call 911 all day long, nobody was going to come to your rescue.

Every adult male ( within reason ) in Switzerland has an has a assult rifle at home. They have one of the lowest murder rates in the world.

Murder is a social problem, not a gun problem. In fact almost all the 700,000 in Rwanda were killed with a machete while the Canadian UN General did nothing under orders. I know because I saw the interview with him crying on TV <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
