Many don't want to completely control your lives. We just don't want people to die. I have a question for every gun owner here. Have you ever had to use your gun to protect yourself? If yes, and be honest, do you think you could of protected yourself using something else?
Yes, I have. A proper theoretician could suppose I might have used something else. Stronger doors and bars on the windows I'm sure would have been adequate to keep me safe for the three hours it has taken police to find that address (its out on a dirt road and back in the trees). On the other hand, why should I be a prisoner in my own home, especially when I'm only being held by numbers. Why should I be at the mercy of teenagers with baseball bats, just because there are four of them and I'm by myself? Why should I be dependent on someone else to for me what is naturally my job to do for myself? Sheep depend on shepherds and dogs to protect them from wolves. I'm not a sheep.
