How big is the chance if in that country half the people, 25 million, have a legal gun "for protection" that you ever get one pointed at you. Pretty goddamn fucking big right?

you have to realize that america is not safe and pretty like the majority of foreign countrys think. The roads are not paved with gold and crime does run rampant in every state. Yes, there is 5-10% of america where you would probably never need a gun. These are the places where people do not lock their doors. However, there are areas where bars on your windows is mandatory. I live about 15 minutes from the "city" and being in a remote area I cannot rely on a good neighbor or the police to protect me if someone decided to break in or attack me. For this reason I have my own protection.
Bottom line is that everyone has their reasons for owning guns but forcing someone to give them up because you think they are
bad would be like banning porn because someone feels it is
bad...because after all, porn only exploits and degrades women, causes rapes, breaks up marriages, etc...
