Because they are fearful that someone will break into their house in the night with murderous or thievish intent, and they believe that they will be able to get to the unloaded gun, and the locked ammunition and tackle and shoot the intruder dead. This so rarely happens, but it's not unknown, and it's counter-intuitive to understand the real statistics that you or your children are many times more likely to be a victim of gun-related injury if you have a gun in the house. Besides, I, for one wouldn't ever shoot someone for the summarial crime of robbery of my stuff. It's just fucking stuff, you can't issue the death penalty for theft, only if you believe the person robbing you also intends to kill you, which they don't - they just want stuff for money. Most gun-owners are aware that criminals say the number one deterrent of breaking and robbing somewhere is the thought that the owners have guns, so it's understandable. Only nutcases cite the 2nd amendment and think that they're honestly going to hole up and fight 'The Government' if anything 'happens'. They're also the same people that wouldn't ever contemplate bad-mouthing either the military or the endless, bottomless funding for it, but fail to realise that's who they'd be fighting if the One World Government took over or whoever it is Alex Jones has decided this week.
