That is because all of the people who own guns and use them responsibly are not newsworthy.

My gun is none of the above, but is also not accessable to my child.

I would rather shoot the thief. If they want money and goods, they can work for their own, and not steal mine. If none of them ever got shot, then there would probably be thousands of cowards willing to take the risk.
