It is hilarious to me how emotional you guys get about guns.
They're just pieces of metal - they'll never love you back.
We love our family, and want them protected, like it or not, guns do that. So yeah, we get emotional about our family members.
I know a man, who came out of a restaurant, with his family, his daughters ex-boyfriend was waiting for them, he commenced to beat this man's daughter. My friend went to his car, got his gun, told the man to get off his daughter 3 times, loudly, then, when he didn't, he blew the man's head off.
My friend's daughter is alive today, because, my friend had a gun. Oh, and the investigation revealed the ex boyfriend was high on Meth, and my friend was never prosecuted. Bad guy dead, good people living, that's what guns do.
