I put the post up because I'd be talking to some gun control advocate and when I'd ask how would the average US citizen protect themselves from criminals if guns were outlawed... they'd always say the police would protect them.<br /><br />People just want to wrap themselves in bubble wrap and not have to lift a finger.
