No surprise! I have several liberal friends who have said they are shocked that their "unenlightened neighbors" would be out buying guns! They have said to me, "what the hell do these people think..., they are going to have a terrorist visit them personally?".
My reply is simple..., these folks understand that, if a major terrorist incident occurs in their area, THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN! Law enforcement personnel will be fully occupied 24/7 with the immediate emergency and, consequently, response time to a 911 call WILL BECOME DAYS rather than an hour.
This explanation seems to resonate since my friends now want to visit the range and do a little practice in anticipation of becoming gun owners themselves!
