may get shot for this opinion.......but regarding the statement above the question that begs to be answered is where the hell where the parents of those two?
On the the poll, Up until last year we have always had a 30-06 and a 20 guage in our home.....in a LOCKED safe. Husband was an avid hunter. Had at the most 5 kids there too. Now the key was never hidden in the house as these weapons werent meant for protection but for sport. So I dont think they help much. Too risky if you arent keeping them locked up tight in the home.

These "vast" numbers of deaths caused by gun violence in the US are not a result of children finding their daddy's gun under his bed. Those cases are few and far between. Gun violence in the US stems from uneducated, socially outcast, misunderstood teens that chose the road of a criminal instead of a "normal" member of society.Our gun control problem doesn't start in the home....it starts on the streets. Guns are just as easy to get as cocaine, speed, or E if you know who to talk to. And those are unregistered weapons that the cops are incapable of keeping under control.
If someone wants a gun...making it illegal isn't going to change a damn thing.
EXACTLY! ✅
Now - that said - I'm not fond of guns myself. However, my husband & son both own guns (for target shooting & hunting purposes). I have shot one of them once. I thought I had thrown my shoulder out of socket. That thing had a kick! Anyway, I think that if I lived alone, I wouldn't have a gun, but I don't have a problem with the guns we have in the house, because my husband & son both are responsible with them and keep them put away when not in use.
let me review
1st of all not all people keep guns for protection, they may have them for spot
in some cases, like livin in a realy bad neighborhood, you are much better of having a gun
but if this is true you cant keep it locked up and unloaded coz by the time u get it together you will be robed and maybe even killed
thus this is a subject that everyone has to decide for themselves
however generally i agree that its not the guns its the people
a smart person will have enough sence to put the gun where his 2 yearold wount reach it
a dambass will leave it lieing around for the kid to pick it up.
PS. Im from Australia so we dont have no problems like that. lol.
Q😄oes guns in the home make us safer?
A: No.
This “It’s not guns that kill people, it’s people” is just som gun-lobby propaganda nonsense. Guns DO kill people. A person with a gun can do far more harm than a person without a gun. Plain logic.
“in some cases, like livin in a realy bad neighborhood, you are much better of having a gun”
Why? Because everyone ELSE has a gun?
” thus this is a subject that everyone has to decide for themselves”
No way! Remove the guns, make gunlaws stricter. I feel safer knowing it’s damn hard for your average Joe to get a gun in DK, that way I know, that not everyone I meet may suddenly pull a piece on me.
of course a gun in the home is going to make you safer, only and only if you use it for the intended purpose of in home secuirty. Of course if the situation ever calls for it's use chances are that someone is going to get hurt and maybe even dead, maybe you and maybe not, but your chances are better if you have a gun.

Guns don't kill people, People kill people. If you take the guns away from everyone, then only the murders, robbers....will have guns thru the black market. Seems unfair for everyone else to tak their means of protecting their family. However everyone shld be resposible enough to put guns up so kids can't get to them. 🙂
"Guns don't kill people, People kill people. "
Stupidest notion ever.
If you stand there going "bang bang" you wont do much damage will you?
People with guns and intent to kill, kill people.
Guns are illegal in the UK and we have hundres less in handgun deaths per year than the US.
Like Bill Hicks said: "Believe it or not, our government believe there is no connection between having a gun and shooting someone and not having a gun and not shooting someone. They claim there's no connection and you'd be a fool and a communist to make one."
Hardly any house burglars, I think you will find, come armed with intent to kill. I don't see why you can't just smash them down or knock em out then call the police. You could say "Well Elderly people can't do that." Precisely, so they should exercise more caution. If a break in should occur. The old people are more likely to have the gun taken off them if anything. Guns just cause problems.
Peter: We need guns! We've left ourselves completely unprotected!
Cleveland: But Peter, guns are bad. Guns bring trouble.
Peter: Yeah and when they trouble comes we'll be able to blow it's fricken head off.
