Nice photos of the gun owners, but they are posed and don't really say anything about the subjects that is meaningful. We don't even know how many of these guns are operational. It's just sensationalist BS.

Then of course we have carr_e, who maintains that individual gun ownership will keep you free. News flash buddy, weapons alone don't cut it. Even in the days when the village blacksmith and the local carpenter could supply spears and shields to all comers, that was seldom enough to beat a professional army. Before you sound off about guerrilla or asymmetrical warfare, these tactics haven't generally been effective against an opponent who is sufficiently brutal and determined, though of course there are exceptions.

One thing I'm sure about is that the really dangerous gun owners; organized crime, cheap street thugs, and others who own illegal weapons definitely aren't in these photos.
