If the gun is securely stored and has a trigger lock so your kids cant shoot each other, how can you use the weapon to protect your family from criminals who break into your house in the middle of the night while you are sleeping? If the gun was loaded and under your pillow, I can understand how it could be readily available, but then you have to worry about your kids shooting themselves, dont you?

That question probably shouldn't be applied to me since I don't have children in the house. My guns are kept ready at the bedside and one on my computer desk within reach.
My daddy had an interesting way of teaching us about gun safety. He let us shoot the 12 guage when we were 6. A bruised shoulder and sore arm made a kid seriously think about EVER touching his guns, and none of us ever did. Hell, I was 18 and in boot camp before I ever touched another one, and went through firearm training classes.

I wish that people had to pass a stricter drivers test and had to do them regularily to retain the privilege of driving.

Organized and effective military against a rabble with some weapons? Nazi's were able to overpower several established armed forces. The USA military (note, not US citizens with guns, but trained professionals) would not have been able to pull a victory off if the Nazi's were not worn down and stretched thin by the efforts of the European armies.

Never underestimate the power of armed people in large groups, or those who would do whatever necessary to save their homes or families.
