[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 846031, member: 17969"] I dont know where you all live that guns are needed because you all live in areas constantly under threat, but ive been in my town since 1992 and we make the top 3 list of safest cities every year. The concept that "i would use my gun in self defense if an intruder came into my home" sounds great, but if you are following the law, your guns would be locked into a safe, separated from the ammo and with trigger locks. By they time you turned on the lights, entered the combination, unlocked the triggers, loaded the ammo and gathered your thoughts, you would be looking at begging for your life anyways. After that, you probably would be looking down the end of the barrel of your own gun. I have no problem if you want a gun for protection, I have a problem with stockpiles of guns. I know plenty of people who own more guns than they do knives and forks. These types usually use the guns on themselves. I have a problem with anyone suggesting instant justice and I definitely have a problem with anyone suggesting that crime will go down because people are armed. This just isnt the case. This country is armed to the teeth and violent crime keeps increasing. One person tried to make it about drugs and ethnicity but crime among white kids is just as high. Mass School shootings are typically white kids. One on one shootings are typically minority based. Why the difference? Why do white kids feel the need to mass kill having every priviledge known to man, and minorities tend to shoot only an intended target? There are many people in this country who are not in the right mind to possess a weapon of any kind. But to suggest that we should increase the number of guns on our streets and neighborhoods to protect ourselves is only making the problem worse. As I said, i am no fan of guns and I do support those who sport shoot or hunt to eat, but I dont support having guns in the home because you are told to fear your fellow citizen. Peace. [/QUOTE]
