When You Really Need an “Assault Rifle”
.

The situation in Baltimore, Maryland has got me thinking once again. It makes me think about several things, but mainly, I’m thinking about how incidents like Baltimore make the perfect argument or reason for our right to own “assault weapons”.
.
Tomorrow, April 29th, will mark the 23rd anniversary of the Los Angeles riots. They started in South Central Los Angeles and then spread out into other areas over a six-day period within the Los Angeles metropolitan area in California. Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred during the riots, and estimates of property damage were over $1 billion. The rioting ended after soldiers from the California Army National Guard, the 7th Infantry Division, and Marines from 1st Marine Division were called in to stop the rioting when the local police could not handle the situation. In total, 53 people were killed and over 2,000 people were injured during these riots.
.
What isn’t mentioned in the media very much is the story of Korean shopkeeps and business owners who had to protect their own homes and business when the LAPD could not. Open gun battles were televised, as in one incident (caught on video) where Korean shopkeeps armed with M1 carbines, pump action shotguns and, get this, semi-automatic AK-47’s and UZI’s. These exchanges in gunfire finally led to the break up and forced retreat of the groups of armed looters.
.
The situation above ended without any bloodshed and the businesses were not harmed in any way.
