To defend this right, via Instapundit.

This is what a decently produced news segment that supports a more conservative position looks like. You don’t see these very often so enjoy it. The only difference between this and left leaning news segments is that it wasn’t about how the government didn’t do enough, or how terrorist are citizens too, but rather that citizens had their 2nd right violated. If a news organization wanted to come off as being neutral it would to balance the content of this kind of news segment with liberal leaning news segments.

Also, seriously how freaking scary and frustrating would it be to have the state take your guns away from you during some kind catastrophe? If ever you needed a gun its during a catastrophe and then the state arbitrarily takes your weapon away from you. You are using your weapon in safe manner as a means for protection and the state just up and steals it from you.

Some people roll their eyes when you suggest that a constitutional right to bear arms exists as means to protect you from the state. However, when something like this happens its virtually impossible for me not to see the utility in arming the citizenry. When the state becomes illegitimate all we have to defend ourselves is our weapons. Hopefully that day will never come, but if it does hopefully the liberals will not have taken all our weapons from us.
