Do you own a gun?

Police are ineffective at stopping violent crime, unless they are magically on the scene as the crime is occurring. If you have a gun (or, I suppose, a poker, broom, baseball/cricket bat or knife. hehe), you have a chance to defend yourself, your family, your property.

I don't agree with your last sentence.

An armed population is difficult to be controlled by a would-be tyrant, or by foreign opposition. Guns can protect a people en-masse, in that way.

Criminals are going to get guns, and they are not going to give them up. That is a fact of life in the US. So to have a chance at stopping that criminal from killing/raping/stealing from you, you need a gun. Cops won't get there in time unless, as stated previously, they're magically already in the vicinity.

Is there anyone who owns a gun ? i mean the people in this forum. Because i haven't seen a true gun in my real life except seeing it in movies. I asked only out of old curiosity.

Some of my neighbours do own a gun.They take precautions from being robbed or subjected to criminal assault. Once I was given an opportunity to sink a shot. I took up a challenge to break the stereotype( in my town) that a gun in the female hands is a horrible and unbelievable picture. When I ascertained there was none within the 10000000( Laughing

) km, I fired a shot. The overall experience proved to be neither good nor bad. Wink
