Quote by: Praxius  Wow, and in Canada, we generally see it a different way.... load everyone up with a firearm? Not a really good idea..... I mean, I imagine you guys in the US are used to firearms, as am I..... but I'm not used to more people around me owning a firearm.
To know that everyone around me owns a gun wouldn't make me feel any safer, that's for sure.
A knife you can chuck at someone's skull is all I need.
And correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that what the police are for? Now you're talking about people attempting to take the law into their own hands.....
There's also a large % of accidental shootings that have been reported in homes, when someone ended up shooting a family member who got up at night for a drink or a pee.
IMO, you don't need a firearm to protect your home...... most break ins here in Canada are usually by criminals with no weapon at all, or a knife, etc..... you start loading homes with firearms and they start to bring firearms.... it's not going to solve anything. |

You are kidding correct? When was the last time you saw the police rushing to
protect an innocent person? Oh yeah right . I remember. Recently in NYC where detectives murdered an innocent man on the eve of his wedding. And you also think that protecting oneself is taking the law into your own hands? I yi yi. Perhaps you should think again.

What is this percentage? Do you have any hard evidence of this opinion of yours here? Please back up your opinion with evidence.
You may not think you require a firearm to protect yourself and your home. That is your decision and I respect it.. But please don't usurp my decision if I choose to possess firearms to protect my home and family from possible intruders bent upon harming us. Your assumptions may prove deadly to my family.
Better to have a firearm and not need it, than need a firearm and not have it.
