The weakest argument for gun ownership in the USA

Prevent it? You are aware that the LAPD caused the Rodney King riots, right? Strike 2!

If you had payed a proper tax in the 60's, you might not have had the problem with gangs that you have, thus you wouldn't have had that riot

Or it might've helped to use some money to get an actually functioning judiciary system. Or trying to be less racist. Or even have police officers who don't get a woody from beating up citizens.... The thing is; every such incident has a cause. And every such cause can be neutralized. Hiring your own army of mercs will lessen the effect, but it won't address the cause. However, if you address the cause, you can hop around naked preaching peace and love, hippie-style
