the Supreme Court has already ruled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales) that the police are not obligated to prevent crimes. The only obligation police are under is to investigate and collect evidence to allow for prosecution of crimes that have already been committed.
Let's see.
1) SCOTUS has ruled that police are not required to defend you from a crime. 2) SCOTUS has ruled that the 2nd Amendment applies to individual citizens. 2a) The Heller ruling implies that the 2A implies a right to self-defense (thank you Roe v Wade for the "penumbra" doctrine...) 3) Studies have shown that increased access to LEGAL weapons produces a DECREASE in crime. (cf. Florida and Michigan) 4) "Gun-free zones" translate to "Unarmed victims ahead" in most violent criminal's minds. 5) Most gun-control laws were based on racist laws. 6) The First Amendment doesn't simply apply to lead type in wooden presses, so why the fark should the Second only apply to militiamen with cap-and-ball muskets? 7) How could the 2A apply to the National Guard (as state militia), when the Guard wasn't enacted till the 20th Century? 8) 10 USC 311 defines organized and unorganized militias. Every fucking adult in the US is a member of the unorganized milita. 9) Do you really think that "telling the rapist you have a disease" will keep a woman safe? or making herself vomit? Both are advocated saftey procedures in City of Chicago self-defense classes. Wanna guess what Chicago's gun policy is? 10) The last case to go before SCOTUS before Heller was one of the weakest legal precedents EVER. Miller died before his case was called to court, and his public defender didn't have the time or money to give arguments for a dead client. 11) Without the ability to stand up to our government, to revolt if necessary, all our other rights become worthless. 12) Ballistics profiling is bullshit. 13) It's easier and cheaper to acquire a license for a car, a privilige not guaranteed by any governmental document, than it is to beg permission for a right our founding fathers said "shall not be infringed".
