The thing about guns is the hype gun owners are always preaching about, I do not believe guns make the average citizen of this country feel safer... There are about one third of the people in this country that own guns, that makes two thirds that do not own guns... I do not believe we as a country "feel safer" because of gun ownership and the crime/murder rate in this country that is chocked full of guns seems to bear that out.... An individual that has access to a firearm might feel more secure whether or not he/she actually is....
Sheeple. I hope you never need a weapon, because you will WISH you had it.

DEAD people cannot defend themselves.
