Instead of taking extreme sides (as it's doing nothing more than raising an argument), why not discuss a plausible solution.
Now, everyone in this thread who has made the point that without firearms things like this would not happen, you have a valid point and reason for concern. IIRC, it was in the movie "Bowling for Columbine" where the guy showed that at a certain bank, you got a hunting rifle or shotgun just for opening an account. I do believe that it is a little ridiculous how readily available firearms are. My first firearm purchase after the military was online. I paid for the gun online, then drove to some guys house and picked it up. He was/is a licensed dealer... but come on, even I felt wrong about that one.
I believe (and hope) the point that the other half of the room is trying to make is that completely removing access to firearms is a little excessive. I have no faith in humanity (which started long before these events) and would not leave my home unprotected. If my guns get taken away, I will fashion a projectile defense system to be ready. People are crazy and the Marines taught one valuable lesson... Never fight fair if you can help it.
Well, thanks to CIA funded operations like this, we'll probably all lose our firearms. That's just going to make the mass chaos that will ensue that much easier for the red army to squash. We were given these rights because our founders saw the potential for corruption. That fear has come to fruition, and everyone in America is begging to be enslaved.
What we need is a common sense approach to the sale and distribution of firearms. Not mass lunacy and over-reaction.
