I would have to respond with the fact that under some of the proposed gun control initiatives, myself and my family would essentially be left either defenseless, or at the very least less able to provide an adequate defense.
I live in a rural area where the admitted and demonstrated response time of any assistance from any law enforcement agency would be inefficient and ineffective. Should I ever need immediate assistance from them in the event of a violent criminal act that may be contemplated or undertaken by anyone, it would quite simply take them too long to get here to do me and my family any good.
In such a case, I want to be able to defend myself, my family,...and yes,..my property,..from those who would do me or my family harm. In that law enforcement will need substantial time to arrive on scene, I want to be able to legally acquire the very best and most adequate means to defend myself and my family against those who might attempt to do us harm.
I should be the person to determine what tools I may need to do so, without unreasonable interference, mandate or permission of any government agency.
Further, in the event of potential multiple assailants, I would hope that I have the common sense to have sufficient ammunition on hand, and adequate capacity to accomplish such a defense, or even better,...to deter a further attack,.... until such time as law enforcement can arrive on scene,...whether that means seconds,... or minutes,..or more.
As a citizen, I must unfortunately wait for a back up, (LE), to arrive. That precious little time may mean the difference between life,...or death,..or worse,...to myself and my family.
Your mileage may vary,...but,...do not presume that law enforcement will be there to protect you,...as they will be there only in time to investigate the scene after the fact.
