That the Egyptian people are protecting their property and their national treasures from looters and criminals with the only tools available to them? Ask them if they'd rather have a shotgun or a pointy stick.
The reason why protesters don't take to the street with firearms is because they don't want to get fucking shot by the police or military when they're calling for a regime change.
