Anybody who does not have at least one firearm (and at least a thousand rounds of ammo) is a fool.
LA during the Rodney King riots. New York during the Crown Heights riots. New Orleans and surrounding areas this week.
Disaster and breakdown of public order can happen ANYWHERE, at ANY TIME, and with ZERO advance notice. In which case you need to be prepared to be ON YOUR OWN for a minimum of 3 days, and possibly a couple of weeks or more.
Besides firearms, everybody should have a multi-day supply of water, maintain several days supply of non-perishable food, and a comprehensive first-aid kit.
And also be prepared to abandon your "stuff" if need be, and concentrate on your life and your family, if sh** looks like it's about to come down

These are the same people who think we should have open borders ("because I think anybody who wants to come to this country to better themself should be allowed to and blah blah blah"), hate Mexicans ("my father said they were worthless and blah blah blah"), acknowledge that California is rapidly sinking beneath the weight of illegal immigration and Leftist policies, but maintain that "California's going bankrupt sooner or later anyway," and have nothing to offer but mindless platitudes, fuzzy thinking, and the same old worn-oud Leftist drivel.
No wonder more and more Americans have nothing but scorn for the Left.
No wonder California's in such a mess.
