1) Your fire scenario comparison is just as fucking stupid.

My comparison wasn't a comparison, just an observation. If someone wants to kill you a firearm is one of many options. To assume someone would use a firearm is quite narrow minded. There are a ton of other ways to really kill someone w/o a firearm if you really wanted to do something like that.

2) No form of Hand to Hand (kungfu included) will stop a bullet. You can train to use a firearm in far less time than train to learn any form of hand to hand, without having to travel across the world.

KM is a defense system that takes about 8-9 weeks to train and become extremely proficient at it. After that initial training people tend to retain about 80-90% of the effective movements. All based on natural reaction, meaning you dont have to necessarily remember a whole lot, just react and muscle memory takes care of the rest. No defense system will stop a bullet; not everyone who wants to hurt you has a gun. Its quite unrealistic to think you will always be armed in any situation that might come along where you would have to defend yourself. It is realistic to believe you will have your arms and legs readily available. Learning to use them effectively could prove useful. Plus KM encompasses an armed fighting system as well, IE fighting with/against someone with a knife/handgun/AR. It's just useful stuff to know, it wont stop a bullet but it's the next best thing.

3) Even people in the military have a conscience.

Most do I'm sure. My point was that it doesn't take an entire army anymore. Even if 99% of the military refuses, 1% armed with modern military weaponry can make more than a dent in 100% of civilian population armed with .223's and 7.62's. You're deluded if you think every person in the military is a noble do-gooder. Some are I'm sure, but some just enjoy killing. Having a conscience is not on any military entrance exam I've ever seen.
Maybe you should have thought longer before you posted. Your three points of criticism aren't necessary to anyone with a reading comprehension above that of a 5th grader.
