Still not the answer. If people had guns like you guys do then so would the rioters. It'd be a blood bath on both sides.

I dunno, I'd rather have a little control instead of living in fear.

You get a group of 10-20 friends armed to the ass and you'd have to really want that fucking TV.

Kinda ironic, given how it all started.

To be honest I have no idea how to react to all this apart from being embarrassed really.

You don't need guns, you just need a bunch of angry Turks.

Can't watch that at work. What do they do, beat them with legs?

And what difference does using a pipe, club, knife as opposed to a gun? The intent to hurt or kill someone doesn't go away just because you don't have a gun!

Very true, but thankfully the available "weapons" aren't as lethal.

Because pipes and clubs and knives aren't as easy to use as a gun. You have to get up close to use them. You have to really mean it.

haha that made me laugh.

I was once hit in the face with a pipe. I'm sure he meant it as well.

Nope, just chase after them shouting.

One guy had a pipe/stick/whatever, but wasn't seen to use it.

I think this describes it:

Now just picture that scene but instead of a group of people make it a fine red dot following each of the rioters down the street.

You're still alive though.

A gun shot to the face could easily have been a different story. :/



There's been one confirmed fatality in all this - a guy who got shot.

Are you saying if he had a gun he wouldn't have been shot? And that if everyone had guns there would be less injured people?

No, but I am saying that the store owners could put an end to it much faster. Possibly with more fatalities, possibly with rioters getting smart very fast.

They don't have to die. How can you die when you are home minding your business?
