cygnus - I guess I'm lucky that I don't worry about people breaking in and raping my loved ones. It's hard to relate to that mentality and maybe I should be thankful for it.
That said, if I did live in an area where such paranoia was worthy - I'd probably look at other examples of the world where the opposite takes place and see what they are doing right, rather than grip my bible tight and load up with bullets.

I'm a gun enthusiast (don't own one but whenever i get a chance i go to a shooting range to fire a gun or a rifle) but you will never convince me that guns are for self protection. The home invasion argument is some horrible NRA propaganda that has absolutely no merit. I mean how is it that each time you speak to someone from gun loving state they use this specific argument? Do they all live in some god forsaken ghetto where people break into people's houses every day?? Clearly this is not the case and someone with their agenda is playing on those poor soul's fears. If i were you i wouldn't repeat such a simplistic argument if for no other reason that you don't want to be a perceived as someone's tool.

The gun rap is simply business. There is no, zero, zippo, logical argument for owning a gun (for anything but hunting and killing). People hold to some ideological (and shallow and naive) notion that if they own a gun, they control their destiny. It is a ego/pride/'mine-is-bigger-than-y... mentality.
That's not even touching concealment! That is the most ludicrous reasoning anywhere. If you want to get a permit, get one, but these crazy, CRAZY ideas of allowing anyone to carry one is just absurd. Shit, I'll carry one just to have a dying chance against some of the nut jobs that think they'll protect their "families". CRAZY!!
All that said, I do love guns and own one. I am not for hunting (vegetarian here), but I can respect your choice to do that. BUT if they outlawed all guns I would be happy (as long as they searched and prosecuted for illegal arms, which are the real problem).

Where do you think all of the illegal firearms came from? They were most likely stolen from law-abiding citizens.
Do you think the Glock factory has 2 assembly lines?
- For the record, you can own a gun if you want to, I couldn't care less but the rhetoric is retarded.DrBombay
- so you're saying bann all dangerous things from honest people because some people are thieves?dummies
- Nice try, no I am saying the illegal guns were once legally bought. How did they become illegal?DrBombay
- What didn't you understand about me saying you can have a gun if you like IMO?DrBombay

A young woman finds herself under duress as man are invading her home. As soon as the first intruder gains access she shoots the fucker dead on the spot. His partner turns and runs away.
Sounds like guns work just fine to me.

LOGAN, Ohio -- A man who shot three people and then killed himself was apparently upset about the food that was being fed to his terminally ill wife, authorities said today.
Paul Gilkey was upset that relatives had given his wife tea and toast after he had already peeled an orange for her, according to Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North.
Sounds like guns work just fine to me.
