This is why the right to Keep and Bear Arms is so important.

People, whether in anger or depravity, will sometimes seek to take what is not theirs, to attack indiscriminately.  Be in individual immorality or the madness of groups, when that time comes, good people need to be able to protect themselves.

As this story notes, "The group arrived to find a gang of thieves ransacking a Dollar General in the same strip mall that houses their businesses. Mr. Weinstein said the looters attempted moving toward the shop, but were scared off by the guns. Then the police arrived."

What would have happened if they were not armed?
