I love how some people think the rioting would be better if everyone had guns. Do you know who that would mean also have guns? The rioters.

If the rioters had guns they wouldn't riot...

because they'd get shot.

Or if they did riot they CERTAINTLY wouldn't bring their guns with them.

Anyone who has any sense knows to not bring a gun with you on a crime... unless it's a crime where you expect to shoot people.

In previous riots such as the 1992 Los Angeles riots there were incidents of gun battles.

very very few yes.  And they ended up preventing more crimes then they created.

They were the very definition of exception to the rule.

There is a reason why the LA riots is seen as a card in the Anti-gun control arguement, and never mentioned by the Pro Gun Control Movement.

The police chickened out, and the people (Koreans in general) were able to defend themselves and their stores.  The guns were a success story in preventing the riots from getting worse.

Certain groups of Shop Owners got volenteers and created a self defense force to protect their community when the government refused to... and those areas were saved.

Well that and the riots happened in one of the strongest gun gun control states that's most liberal.
