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.

Fire and cars kill people! I know because I saw it in a video game once!

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.
