cOoTeR Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 This question has been thrown around a lot lately along with, "Why does anyone need a weapon that can hold more than 10 rounds?". Here's a video of some guys defending a market from looters during the LA riots. It seems to have worked for them to have an uzi. Ask yourself, what / who are you going to turn to if the police can't protect your house, family and food? If you say it can't happen look at LA just shy of 21 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6tmD0W5r4w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I really believe this to be the most realistic scenario for my urban-dwelling family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 That female news anchor makes me sick. "Are they registered?" Bla bla bla. The security jackets were a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't own any assault rifles but two of mine are semi-automatic, magazine fed rifles. As for the Koreans, they were prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 +1 first problem is the definition of assault rifle. You should be able to say because I like their features and if need be I can adequately protect my property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm old enough to remember seeing a live feed from a helicopter on the news.Shop owners firing rapidly from rooftops to force crowds of looters to turn away.Just warning shots, apparently.It worked...

shadyone Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Lots of things! Wild hog hunting. Packs of coyotes. Target shooting. Competitive even. Some classes require you to shoot rapid fire. Because I want one. Because I want to remember the soldiers that used one and lost their lives to keep us free of tyrany. And because if that we have our constitutional right to it. Like it was said its rights based not needs based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I bought mine because they are magical devices that can kill anything without mercy. I'll be sure to take on my next dive trip and bag a shark or two if it doesn't turn on me and shoot me first. Gotta watch out for those things, they have a mind of their own ya know and induce wicked behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner75 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 what / who are you going to turn to if the police can't protect your house, family and food? I wont be counting on police to protect anything for me. Its not their job. Ill be standing watch over my father in laws where we have plenty of food stores for a few months.

Helmutt Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not sure why the female anchor was so interested in weapon registration when there was only 1 uzi identified in a pile of shotties and rifles. These guys had their shit together in protecting the store, as if a war may be coming. That is a valiant team effort and makes me question if there's more to protect inside than meets the eye? Either way, I choose a pro SA rifle/handgun stance because it's our right to have these readily available for just such a scenario. Plus I like expensive, tacticool stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
