That is exactly true.
I know how to use firearms to protect myself and my family.
What bothers me sometimes about posts here on FR regarding the use of firearms is the bravado and over heated macho rhetoric such as "I'll give the whole Mob lead poisoning!!!!"
If you are firing into mobs on the street, then you have already lost. You will end up dead or in prison yourself. Firearms in your home to defend yourself from invasion are a different matter.
If you currently live on a racial fault line, and have a family to consider, you may want to seriously consider getting out of there.
That isn't a "racist" statement - but simply a reflection of reality in today's Obama world. If you are a white family, Eric Holder is not, not, not looking out for you. Urban mobs that feel "empowered" and "entitled" to violent crime, assault, robbery, rape, and murder are a shocking reality.
Sad reality is that, and I have been saying this for a long, long time is that we are very close to a second civil war. These “flash mobs” are one such sign. Plus with a very ARMED American population, blowback could very well happen.
I do add, if the trouble ends up going into the burbs, there will be some very hard learning done.
