    It is a basic human right to properly protect yourself.

    It's shocking that the people who have nothing and therefore nothing to lose destroy what doesn't belong to them in the first place and have no respect for other's personal property?

    Not to defend looters and rioters, but after reading some of the (now edited, ty mods) sentiments ITT, I can see why all of this is going down

    Your thinking can't really be this backward, can it?

    I like your posts, but disagree on this one. I dont think europeans are bothered at all by how extremely difficult it is to obtain a firearm there. I would go as far to say that they are actually happy with that fact (discounting gun enthusiasts).

    I am glad my neighbor owns a gun in Lithuania. I live in a safe area, but I am glad someone that is trained in use of firearms and that I know has my back is nearby if there was a problem. I am glad I do not own a gun since I don't want to cause an accident which in my case is more likely than helping if a problem came up.

    And I sure am glad MY old neighbor in holland does not own a gun, lol. I feel you though. It's just that the fear of situations where you'd need a gun is such an irrational fear there. Most people would think that a locked door, a golf club, and maybe a dog would be enough security.

    Pretty sure if you were allowed to own guns and protect your property, people wouldn't be running rampant burning and looting. imo.

    you'd think if the rioters take the night off that the police could set up some better type of defense system or be more effective in neutralizing them

    i'm sure the IOC is watching this and wondering wtf type of country they got themselves involved with

    There have been countless riots and lootings in the past in major cities in the US where people are allowed to own guns. A few of the most famous examples are:

    Cinci - 2001 - Riots caused by the police fatal shooting of 19-year-old Timothy Thomas
    Seattle - 1999 - riots relating to the WTO conference.
    LA - 1992 - Police officers acquitted in Rodney King case caused arson, rioting, and looting.
    NYC - 1977 - Blackouts caused arson and looting.
    Chicago - 1968 - MLK assassination reaction caused arson and riots.
    Newark - 1967 - Rumors that turned out false caused already heated race related tensions to cause a 6 day riot
    Detroit - 1967 - Riots and looting related to excessive police force
    LA - 1965 - Race related tensions caused rioting.
    NYC - 1863 - Civil War draft resentment relating to those with money could buy their way out of the draft.

    I bet there are some crazy Americans who thinks God wrote the Constitution. Fortunately, most of us know God did not write the Constitution and fortunately for Americans, the drafters of the Constitution had the foresight to expressly recognize the inherent right of a person to own a gun or guns.

    Let's read it together.

    A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    I suppose you might also want to read the Supreme Court cases interpreting this Amendment. If you did you would probably conclude there is an individual right to keep and bears arms, not just as a part of a well regulated militia, if that is what your point was.
