not like I live in the hood, BUT, if If IF someone ever came banging on my door in some psychotic state wanting to physically injure or kill myself or my family you BET YOUR ASS I don't want to have to wait 20 minutes for the cops to show up to see / chance it that the freak couldn't get in and do what he/she wanted to....esp if THEY are armed...
criminals usually don't give a shit about laws and will be armed anyways...
I look at these as basic human rights:
1) to feed myself & family (may require a gun)
2) to shelter myself & family
3) to clothe myself and family
4) to PROTECT myself and family (may require a gun)
doesn't get much more basic than that...
as long as violence is part of human nature then the ability to protect oneself is a necessary evil :/

How come every pro fun American says he needs it to protect himself yet in a country like Holland you wont hear anybody saying that except for some criminals?
Why the difference in mentality?
Let me answer it, your gun freedom is a fundamental problem, you guys need to protect yourself from other people with guns. You cant protect yourself from a gun with a knife so you need a gun as well.
