well, Franck did post sources, I was simply using your way of debating by blowing off what you said with out further explanation.
It is a fact that if people have guns they are more likely to use them. My Grandfather has lived in the states for almost 40 years and has never owned a gun, and has never wished he owned a gun. The only burglary he remembers in the neighbourhood (a normal suburban neighbourhood, nothing fancy) was next door to him while the neighbours were away.
You are more likely to die in a lot of ways you don't even think about than getting attacked in your own home (unless ofcourse you live somewhere well dodgy). If you live in anormal place owning a gun is actually putting your family at more risk than not having a gun...
Beside the point, I quite like guns, I grew up in Iceland and I've often gone hunting with my dad and brother. But the fact that in the US you can buy weapons that are only designed to do damage to humans is something I am against. They are not called assault weapons because you are going to go out and assault a deer...
