If you were here, right now, behind a locked door with a liberal anti-gunner, and you asked them if they wanted a gun, they'd take it eagerly, or be glad for the one you had in your hand (the ones I know at least). But, if you complained about potential future bans on black powder (or whatever), you'd be called an <deleted>.
The fact that, right now, the government is telling people to stay indoors, lock their doors, don't open the door for anyone but a uniformed officer, will make many people think about who is responsible for their safety. I guess you could say that I'm being pretty insensitive in my statements but handing someone a gun for protection right now might make them see the truth about self defense.
