It’s a little late now…

Events like the one we’re seeing unfold in Ferguson, MO, are rarely of the “out of the blue” variety. There’s some warning that precedes them. If you look at the images on the TV and think “I need a gun“, then you haven’t been paying attention. The same thing happened here in L.A. over 20 years ago. The Rodney King riots weren’t a surprise back then; not to those who were paying attention. That doesn’t mean that everyone was paying attention. There were plenty of people calling their gun owning friends asking to borrow some hardware. (Which, in California and many other “blue states, is an illegal transfer in most cases, by the way.)
