I am glad I don't own a gun. Half the domestic homicides are caused by the the family itself. How many stories do you hear about where a person broke into someones home and was shut by a hero that protected their family. Not many. How many stories do you hear about a father who killed his own family and them put gun on himself. TONS. No I am not that stupid. I just watch the news and I read.
Huge percentage of domestic gun violence is caused by the gun owner or a close relative or family member or friend. Someone they know. A jilted lover perhaps. But not by criminals who breaking into your house to hurt you. Those things are few and far between. Yes there are serial killers and murderers. But those don't break into people's homes. They are smarter than that.

To each his own. I pray that I never have to use mine for anything other than hunting or sport. I look at it this way. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Be safe fellow gaurdian.

Edited by Unforgiven: 10/15/2015 11:15:04 PMYes you don't have to use it. Just get rid of it. And say no to gun violence. Every person who stops using guns is a step in right direction. Thats one less gun thats going to be used to kill. Yes there are times when guns are required. But you can't make such a decision to shoot another person without thinking it through. Hell you could shoot your own family member just as easily, if its dark for example, and they are simply getting home late. It could be your own son coming to surprise you after a long trip, and getting home in middle of the night. ANd he has keys to the house. More often than not guns kill people, and many times its an accident. Why have such things on hand. Many times people go hunting and kill other people just going through the woods. It happens hundreds of times every year. Why have such weapons. You can be cautious your entire life and one day boom. You just killed your own son. And you can never get them back. Now for example, if you didn't have the gun, your son would still be alive. Why have such dangerous weapons around? Many people will shoot and ask questions later. Many have guns right in their car, and will use them when they get road rage. Or just to scare other people. This is 2015. We need to take our humanity to new level of peace. Owning a gun is just asking for trouble.

I'll keep my 23 firearms thank you very much. Stop drinking that liberal kool-aid scooter. My house is on 270 acres so I'm pretty sure if my alarm goes off it's not my wife or kids. Shots will be fired and intruders will be lacking the ability to breath. Words truly can't describe how naive you are.

You are part of the problem. What do you think will happen to your 23 guns when you are gone. One day someone will use one of them to kill somebody. Keep them if you must, just stay away from me.

Shouldn't be a problem. You obviously aren't from Texas. Don't worry about my arsenal. My family will keep them safe.
-
Or one day use it on you when they get angry and kill you. Either or.

You really should research the 1,000s of instances where people with firearms protected their families and or people in public places from armed criminals. I say research because your liberal controlled news won't report on it. That would go against their agenda to disarm Americans. Just the other day a 16 year old male killed his entire family with a knife. A KNIFE! By your liberal way of thinking we should ban all knives, just lock them away. Damn we can't lock them up. My guns are locked away and that's not good enough for you so I guess we just melt down all the knives. Someone recently murdered another person with a screwdriver. Do we stop having tools at our disposal? I could go on and on but it's a waste of time because you liberals don't care about the facts. You just want to take away guns. The biggest problem with taking firearms from the public is that even if all of the law abiding citizens turned over our weapons the criminals would still keep theirs. Look at the crime stats from Chicago alone. Those gun laws are doing a whole lot of good there aren't they? Look at Sweden. Everyone goes into service at the age of 20 and learns to respect firearms as part of their training. How many times have you heard of mass shootings there? None of this will make sense to you though because you are brain washed. You will undoubtedly respond back with another ignorant post about how my angry kid is going to shoot me without even thinking about anything I've said here so I don't even know why I'm wasting my time. I will say this though. It's gonna be difficult for my children to get their hands on my firearms when they are locked away in a vault style $5,000.00 safe. Maybe they can figure out the combination and then kill me. Or use a power tool. We have lots of murderous power tools. Come to think of it I should throw away my pick ax and shovels too. So many things in my home they can kill me with.
