Yes. There is always someone bigger, faster and stronger than you. My 87 year old grandma sleeps with a pistol under her pillow. She knows that's her best chance to survive should anyone break into her home. She understands with a gun is a tool capable of killing but equally capable of saving a life. Firearms are why we aren't British subjects, or speaking Japanese or German. Firearms are how our ancestors found food in the wilderness. Yes, firearms have killed many, many people over time. But they have also saved people. You cannot uninvent the gun. The AWB ban didn't work. No gun signs don't keep 7/11 to be robbed at gun point. Outlawing them hasn't caused Chicago to be the safest place to live. Gun registration hasn't stopped felons from obtaining and killing with them. What has happened is the grandma in town for horse races shot and killed an armed intruder. The Johnstown homeowner woke up to a gun in his face and it saved his life. It stopped a Waffle House robbery without a shot ever being fired. They saved Midget Todd's and his gf's life. Guns are what put the good guy and bad guy on equal grounds and the good guy was able to prevail.
