I have seen estimates that say that about 30% of Americans own a firearm. If rioters in the UK had that kind of access to guns, what would the riots be like? If 30% of the rioters had guns, how many policemen would be dead now? Americans are lucky that so far rioting has been limited, but if the economy goes belly up, it is likely we will see rioting, and 30% of those rioters could have guns. What will the military do? Kill its own people?
