You have to have access to GUNS to commit GUN violence.
You don't need one to be violent, no. But you need a gun to committ gun violence.
The reason cars kill more people than guns? More people USE cars. Eveyone I know has a car. I know ONE person that owns a gun. It's simple math.
This obsession is paranoia. Pure and simple. I've been through a house fire, but I don't keep 35 extinguishers on hand in mortal fear of a reoccurance. My wife gets paranoid about the smoke detectors. I tell her, "Jeez, SHADOW will smell the smoke before those things would go off!"
You'd be surprised at the myraid home security functions of your average canine. Even a little one.
And you can't take him to a school and have him bite 20 children to death in 4 minutes. He'd probaly gross some of them out by licking their faces, but ..........................
We could do this all day, if you like. You have your opinion, and I have mine. But you can't PROVE having a gun makes you safer.
Seems like a "feelgood" reaction!
BTW, thank you for presenting your argument in a rational, intelligent, civilized manner. I always appreciate that, and will respond in kind.
