The difference between genocide and civil war is just a few AK-47s.

And the difference between treason and legitimacy if someone ever FULLY exercised their 2nd amendment right is whether you win. Strange "law" - the right to be in a position to more effectively commit treason.

But anyway... I've been to the Bay Area (specifically SF) recently. I didn't feel I would have been any safer if I had a gun. Hell, I wouldn't know what to do with it. Moreover, I'd say virtually all you guys with a gun for self defence (and not police/armed forces) wouldn't know what to do with it either. I don't care how often you've been to the range and shot stuff. (edit) I worried this isn't clear. I'm implying that if a bad guy pulled a gun on you, the quickest way to get shot would be to pull one out too.

Just remember, guns don't kill people; people with guns kill people. People without guns usually just injure one another.

Phew, glad I got that all off my chest for about the 10th time on this BBS.
