I wouldn't expect you to understand. I'm not saying guns are for invasion protection, BUT, remember how this country was founded. Remember what we had to do to get it...kill a lot of europeans ;-)
Funny enough about the whole guns argument...I grew up in Wyoming. Everyone had a gun and knew how to use one. You know what the crime rates were? How about the number of gun-related deaths? Percentage-wise less than places with stricter gun laws and less available guns. We were able to have guns in gun racks and even on our sides as long as they weren't hidden. The fact that gun owners in that area were *educated* was also the key. I can't think of a single friend of the family that owned a gun and didn't have at least a locking gun cabinet. Hmm, odd, a town with actually more guns than people and no instances of children shooting themselves or each other...
I also hate how anti-gun people love to say "ok, but let's count out swimming pools and cars and stuff because they don't count" But why not? Aren't they the same thing? Something that can lead to death if not used properly? You just want to bias your argument. You also forget, we already have tons of gun laws on the books. Adding more won't do anything if they don't enforce the ones that already exist.
