I think this cuts both ways, no? Sure, on one hand it's great to have the right to own a firearm, but on the other hand isn't that right part of what's causing the problem? If there was no right to own a firearm I reckon there would be a hell of a lot less shooting at rescuers (unless they were using bows and arrows or sling-shots). The fact that "looters" could break into the local Wal-Mart and steal guns and ammo is pretty alarming, no?
