(btw, why does the NRA seemingly only back white people with guns except in some rare token instances for show.)

Huh? Examples, please? I don't think you're looking very hard, or only seeing what you want to see.

Like yeah, I am sure if the Million man march a decade ago showed the million people who were there all having guns and in full view like the tea party, yeah, like that would have been allowed to go on. Right. Sure.

Not in D.C. no, their laws don't allow it. The "tea party" people were in Virginia. They were lawful, orderly, made no overt threats, demonstrated peacefully and went home. Are you now anti-First Amendment too?

and again, what are gun people so afraid of that they need a gun?
A gun will only delay by seconds if a mob is out there.
(Think of the incidents in the mideast...do you really think if the ambassador had a gun he would have outshot all those people?

Depends on how many guns, how well they are used, and the temperment of the mob. It's worked in some instances, not in others. Just because lawful defensive force doesn't work all the time is no reason to ban it.

What is the real motive of gun people (and especially and not calling anyone here that, gun hoarders and bullet hoarders.

Bullshit. You are insinuating so fast you're burning rubber. Put it back where it came from.

Why does anyone need all those bullets?

Training, buying in bulk is more economical, and who cares. By the way, how many is "all those bullets"?

collectors of guns don't need bullets. Skeet shooters don't need real ammo in their house.
Those that go to ranges and shoot don't need to have their toys in their homes either.

Your ignorance is showing. But you knew that....

What is the real ulterior motive and worry?
And how is that on the democrat side of things?

More insinuation and "no true scotsman" fallacy. Not winning tactics around here.

P.S. Please use some correct grammar, punctuation, sentance and paragraph structure. Your posts will be more coherent and much more readable.
