Kinda like 9/11. You wake up and nobody knows what's going on. Shiz is on fire, your cell phone doesn't work, the power is off. You hear explosions and all that's left of Moffett field is a big smoldering whole in the ground. An EMP fried all of your stuff including your car, 2-way radios, etc. You sit around wondering what to do, and who might have done it.
You see what looks like a stealth bomber roaring overhead, but your binoculars reveal a big red star on the underside of one wing.
What do you do?

...if Moffett was destroyed, I wouldn't wake up to see the destruction...
But if I somehow survived, I'd run to the local gun shop for sure.

Did you rent War of the Worlds this weekend? 
Luckily EMP doesn't hurt my bullets. I'd walk to my friend's house in the country about 60 clicks away and set-up shop. Stay low for awhile and be on guard.

I'd finally be glad I bought all those guns. Rally at my house to begin static defense.
And maybe a little of this:

How is that funny? It's the most obvious and predictable response posible. Someone with guns wants you dead=get a gun.
Now if you're trying to make some conclusion about how everyone here would want a gun regardless of political leaning, remember how unlikely this hypothetical situation really is...
