[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The last time I entered an argumnent like this was against an anti-firearm sociology professor at Penn State. I thrashed him. And so: Here's a few statistics that the anti-gun people don't want you to know: An estimated 1 MILLION crimes are prevented each year in the United States by the display or use of firearms by civilians. A burglar is at least 75% LESS likely to enter a house where he BELIEVES the owner keeps a gun handy. And a couple of comments by me: If a reponsible person owns the gun, there can be no "accidents." If you leave your guns where your kids can get at them, you're a fecking moron who shouldn't have either. "Call the police." Yes, the overworked, thankless-jobbed, can-be-there-in-half-an-hour-MAYBE police. IF the criminal is one of the nice ones, being robbed may be all that happens to you. However, he may be one who realizes that it's best not to leave any witnesses, or he may just be a plain old sociopath. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not take that gamble. If I'm going to die, it's going to be fighting back. "Proliferation of guns" "Laws & legislation," etc: People, WAKE UP CALL! Criminals don't respect the law, that's why they're CRIMINALS! making guns illegal will only affect those who would obey the laws anyway. (as an aside to the folks who say that only the police should have guns, I should point out that most cops shot and killed in the line of duty are shot with their OWN guns - actually a higher percentage than that of gun-carrying/owning civilians who are killed with their own guns) [/QB][/QUOTE]
