Ok, active hostiles, let's see, we have blacks, many of whom have been stirred up for generations by whichever "leaders" for whatever reasons about slavery, which hasn't been a thing for 150 years here. They make speeches, print literature, have riots, and in many cases commit crimes such as "polar bear hunting" or "the knockout game", all the while saying in so many words that they hate whitey. We have Hispanics, primarily from Mexico, who join "La Raza" (the race) and make no secret of their intention to claim part of our territory by whatever means necessary. Then there are the radical Muslims, who just up and kill people in the largest numbers possible because our way of life offends them. Yes, you have some of these in Europe, and look what's already happening. Death tolls in France and Belgium, riots in Paris with burning cars every year, Stockholm as the rape capitol of the world, etc. Do you expect this to get better with tens of thousands more of them there?
Neither am I equivocating on the leveling of the playing field. Intention is always the key. You would be right if my intention in arming myself was to be a vigilante. That would weight the dice in my favor. However, that's not a phenomenon you see on a regular basis. You could bet your last zorkmid the anti-gun press would be on that like stink on... themselves, and when was the last time you heard of it?
The statistics I have seen from England, Australia, and the US show me that violent crime has increased in both England and Australia since their bans, and even gun crime is up in England despite the ban. Gun violence is far down in the US over the last couple of decades, not just a statistical subtlety but bleeding obviously, especially as the numbers of firearms and legal carriers have increased at a record pace. And having more gun laws causes fewer gun fatalities? Try to sell that one in Chicago. They've done their level best to prevent any gun ownership at all, there, while their murder rate placed them above Iraq in gun fatalities. They don't call it Chiraq fer nothin'.
