What stood out about this thread was the common thought that someone doesn't want to own a gun because they don't want to "live that way".

Never forget, you can live in the best neighborhood, never go to a "bad area", but you may run into someone who decided to come to your "good neighborhood" to do harm to some "good people" he saw as an "easy target". Is it likely? No. If it happens, and you can't meet his level of force, that three to thirty minute wait for the police to arrive - if you can access a phone - is going to be an eternity. If you ever run into that person, having a firearm will be "the only way you can live".

I don't have a child so I can't speak on having a gun or not if there is a child. The numbers, from what I have read, show that a firearm successfully defends a family in a number which is a high multiple of the times it would accidentally harm one. When the firearm did accidentally harm someone, it was usually due to gross ridiculous negligence.

Sure- people can argue- no guns, no gun violence. Like it or not, living in the states, people have guns. Not as many as foreigners see on television. They tend to think that 99% of us are firearm owners and walking around shooting things like they see in westerns. Not true - AT ALL.

What also is not true is that gun control can help reduce crime in America. The guns are here. The people who want them have and always will have access to them. The bad people who know YOU don't have one WILL target YOU.

Every city with restrictive firearm laws have caused HUGE gun violence rates. Go read about Washington DC.

If you take the ignorance and emotion based thinking out of it, here in the states, good people owning firearms by and large will reduce crime. Period. Gun control advocates are guilty of causing innocent people to die in the states. Period.

Still don't believe me? Okay- let's outlaw firearms, tomorrow. Or restrict the hell out of them. Tomorrow. Make huge sweeping gun control laws. Blam.

What happened when they tried that with alcohol? With drugs?

Get the picture?

Outlaw them, control them more, create a bigger street market and more incentive to import them and what happens?

Anyone with a brain cell that can talk with one single other one SHOULD realize that gun control in America is pretty stupid.

Outside of limiting CRIMINALS or MENTALLY ILL people from owning them, gun control is an evil feel good but harm causing farce. Period.

And then you have the historical disarment of societies and what governments have always immediately done after.. if that wasn't enough to get through to you. We still have some illusion of freedom in the states, sort of, kind of. Firearm ownership is our last hope in some ways. At least some of us have SOME tiny little form of resistance left. Kind of.
