Sometimes reality means more then any number or statistic.

In November of 1997 just after thanksgiving at around 3:00 in the morning my father was awakened by someone trying to get in through my basement window.

I was 17 at the time and My father woke me up to get my gun. Yes, my gun I was am still am an avid hunter. With no small children I kept it relatively easy to access. He took my gun ran to the bottom of my stairs and fired 3 shots into the wall.

We heard the intruder quickly bolt back from where he came without ever even make a confrontation all because he knew we were armed.

That is why I want the right to have a weopon. I don't need any numbers to back my reasoning up. My life experiences are better.
That's a real nice story an' all, Baconup, but if our country weren't already armed to the teeth you'd have been less worried that your intruder was armed.

ONCE AGAIN, we're the most violent advanced nation on earth. Is the glee of having scared off that intruder with a gun worth that fact and the fatalities that fact implies??
