Getting rid of guns makes for a more civilised society IMO. Where I'm from, I rarely think about guns, in fact I only think about them when on messageboards. Having a society awash with firearms does nothing for my peace of mind.
I did cut and paste my post to a text doc, but didn't save it (duh!)
I assure you that if you were in your home one evening half asleep and were awakened by a noise made by a burgler who had just broken into your home, you suddenly realize that the person does NOT realize you are there. Quickly you dart down behind an object, he's coming, you peer out from your frightning hiding place to see that he HAS a gun. He is combing your home, Oh my god you think to yourself, has he already killed anyone? Oh my God, my children, their bedrooms are on the end of the house he is headed to.
I personally believe your opinion of guns would change! I may be wrong but I don't think so. Not when one well placed shot would completely eliminate any doubt about rather you could address this situation.
Now you go ahead and pretend that this sort of stuff only happens to other folks if you want to. The fact is, it does. I can also give you some statistics if you wish. 100% of everyone who was ever staring dowmn the barrell of their killers gun.......................agrees with me!
