Harry]Vermi what you're doing is basically prepping for a zombie appocalipse like Holden said. You(muricans) will never listen because you're obsessed with your liberties shit. Giving everyone access to weapons just means the 1% batshit crazy also get one. Hense the crazy killing outbursts and the insanely high murder rates.
IF war somehow happens you will be given a rifle, not a hand gun. Or put in a tank, if you're short. And only after you spend weeks in some boot camp to teach you teamwork and/or how to shoot that rifle. Only chance you can use your pistols is if you're invaded and you form up militia resistance. Though let's be realistic...you have nuclear weapons and oceans on both sides. Who the fuck will invade you? Canada or Mexico? Use your brain sometimes...however little there is.
maybe you dicknose euros would have a bit more backbone to deal w/all the state sponsored lunatics that have raped your countries if you had more obsession w/"liberties shit".
