It's safe. They can do whatever they want.
The majority of lawful gun owners are white middle class christians. As O so aptly pointed out in his first campaign.
The simple fact is that whites don't riot.. They piss and moan and then do absolutely nothing.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10401141 It isn't about riots. It's about people suddenly being told they can no longer own something they've previously had a legal right to own.
Most gun owners do not believe that the government will protect them from armed thugs and looters in the aftermath of a major catastrophe, natural or otherwise. Law abiding citizens who agree to give up their guns will then be open to be preyed upon by outlaws.
This is the real problem.
In addition, our VOLUNTEER military is spread quite thin. Do you think those people in southern border states really want to rely solely on the government to save them from a border incursion after they have turned in their guns?
Our government continues to say trust us, when all we see is them fucking us.
Riot? No, I have no intention of rioting. I just want to reserve the right to protect myself knowing full well the government either isn't going to or just plain can't.
