Dems are not going to like that.

Individuals are not responsible for their own safety.

If this is like the whole 'anti rape' revolver they were marketing last year…it will only cost the equivalent of 1500 dollars for a .32 caliber knockoff of the Webley Mk 4 from the second world war. IE no one will be able to actually buy it.

Muslims reject government offer of guns

KOKRAJHAR: Residents of Balapara village in Kokrajhar district, where NDFB(S) militants killed seven people on Thursday night, said no to licensed arms for self-defence against militants. Instead, they demanded the state government seize illegal arms in the militancy-torn Bodo areas and provide adequate security to residents.

On Sunday, after visiting Balapara, forest minister Rockybul Husain had told TOI: "The state government has received demands for licensed arms from the villagers themselves." The villagers later told TOI they had sought arms from Husain in a fit of anger.

"We do not need any weapons," said Sayed Ali, the lone survivor in his family. "We told the forest minister that if the government cannot protect our lives and property, give us arms to defend ourselves. However, we did not mean what we said. It was said on the spur of the moment and out of anger against the government."

His neighbour Zaved said: "We want the government to set up enough security pickets and seize illegal arms in Kokrajhar."

Sounds like something a bunch of commies would want. Are you sure they are really Muslims, and not Chicom spies?
