All I can say to that is I hope you're right. But what I've observed over the past few decades is not very encouraging.I would not use "intimidation" to characterize the reticence of the armed citizens to turn their arms on other citizens. Should things deteriorate sufficiently, you might be surprised. Kudos to the Korean-Americans who protected their families, their businesses, their livelihoods, and their lives against the rioting sub-humans.
I will say a lot depends on where one lives in the U.S. I have lived in New York and New Jersey, which probably have the most repressive gun laws in the Nation. I was quite surprised some time ago to learn that Florida had passed what is known as the "Stand Your Ground" law. More recently I was doubly surprised to learn that a considerable number of other states have adopted similar legislation. But New York, New Jersey and a number of other Northern states continue to impose the "Duty To Retreat" on their armed citizens. These are the states wherein citizens who own guns are intimidated by repressive state laws governing their possession and, mainly, their use.
