Even the most retarded person can tell the difference between their child rummaging for a snack and the sound of forced entry, sorry. There is a
world of difference between the sound of someone breaking out a window or kicking in a door, or even picking the lock and quietly opening the door to
get into a house when compared to the sound of a child digging through a cupboard.
I was raised in a household where firearms were plenty. They were all kept locked up, and my father had one key, my grandfather held the spare.
That's the way it still is, all the guns are kept locked up to keep children or whoever else doesn't need them from getting them. Also, trigger
locks are a wonderful idea. I'm not saying every citizen needs access to assault rifles, but owning a hunting rifle or a handgun doesn't hurt a
thing. Also, for us poor bastards in the midwest, our guns aren't here for decoration or use against fellow man, we use them during hunting season
to save on our grocery bills. An orange vest, a box of slugs, and a hunting license and BAM, I don't have to buy any meat for almost 4 months.
Speaking from a victim's standpoint, taking away guns will do jackshït for violent crime. I have had guns pulled on me, I do know the sound of a
bullet as it wizzes by (stumbling onto a methlab is a dangerous fuçking activity, by the way.) and it would be nice if people didn't have to deal
with that. The night that I became a victim, no guns were involved, instead, I was cracked in the back with a baseball bat, one of the other guys had
a tire iron, and then someone else stabbed me so they could have my wallet. No guns, same result. A guy laying in a parking lot bleeding.
Obviously, the wound wasn't fatal, but neither are all gun wounds.
I'm not saying that every person should get a concealed firearm permit, but I think that some sort of a concealed weapon should be allowed. Even in
the situation I was in, where I could tell trouble was about to happen, a baton would have helped, I could have cracked at least one of them in the
head and maybe kept myself from getting stabbed.
Just my $0.02
