YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SELF-DEFENSE - NOT THE POLICE.
A most-telling example that cannot possibly be misinterpreted is Warren v. District of Columbia: Three women were sharing a multiple dwelling. The two living upstairs heard the third being attacked downstairs. They called the police multiple times, who assured them they were on the way multiple times. About 30 minutes later the women upstairs thought things were okay because they didn't hear screaming anymore, and the two went downstairs and the perps were still there.
"For the next fourteen hours the women were held captive, raped, robbed, beaten, forced to commit sexual acts upon each other, and made to submit to the sexual demands of their attackers.'' The police never arrived.
The Supreme Court ruled: "...fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen".
DC's handgun ban was in place, and firearms had to be stored in an unusable manner. Thus one cannot rely on police even if you are able to make the call and one was not allowed to carry a gun for protection in D.C. -- A situation that has been the case from 1976 until Heller in 2008. "Heller" was supported by 33 "Friend of the Court" briefs, including one signed by 58% of Congress.
"Only for militia!" you say? All adults who are not otherwise forbidden are members of the militia all the time (Dick Act, 1902) - and when called, we report for duty BRINGING OUR PERSONALLY-OWNED WEAPONS. Which is a damn good reason for civilians to own assault rifles of the same caliber used by our armed forces.
Imagine a war breaking out, 4 million of us militia showed up un-armed and un-trained. Where are 4 million rifles suddenly appearing from? And the ammo? And the training? The war would be lost before we were equiped to participate.
Audie Murphy and Sgt Alvin York became marksmen on their own time, not in boot camp. We should all strive to emulate their examples.
Our Founding Fathers, eighty million legal gun owners, 58% of Congress, 49 of 50 states permitting some degree of concealed-carry, and the Supreme Court say that gun ownership by law-abiding citizens is a good thing, and it is also the law of the land.
Gun-banners are the minority and are welcome to remove themselves to their gun-free utopia anytime - Mexico, perhaps?
