Growing up, the Klan were the police. No one to go to.
Having a gun was the only way to make sure you had your rights respected. Made you equal. Hard to ignore a man with a gun.

The difference is, those hostile forces can't set up shop here overnight. And stopping them between the point in time when they start growing, and the point in time when you *can't* stop them does not require a populace armed with M-16s. What it does require, is a public that's not completely apathetic to the problem. I'd much rather work on that, then securing myself a right to own a battle tank.
