They consider it possible for the US government (along with the police and military) to go corrupt (think Mexico), or for Russia/China/Mars to overcome the US military and have only the people with 8 AK47s (and other goodies) to oppose them. And then there's the post-apocalypse survivalist crowd...
To these people, the government using cases like this mad shooter to forbid anyone from owning more than a popgun, is a sure sign the government is thinking totalitarian thoughts. Doesn't help that Obama heads it at the moment...
Yes but sapta even if they had 8 ak47's that wont be able to do much to the military weaponry that would come from russia, china, etc. Think about it, they could jst bring a military tank and the people with ak47's couldnt do jack pomegranate.
