[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, it's funny that you say that. Until I was about 18, I felt exactly like you. I was completely opposed to guns, and wondered why anyone had to own them at all. I thought the whole thing was horrible. [b]I also laid in bed at night as a kid, knowing that my mom had gone out to walk the dog, and listened for her to come back, worrying that she'd get murdered. [/b](I watched the news too much, I think.)

Then I really started to look at the world, without allowing pure emotion to lead me. Truth is, as awful as it is, SOMEONE is going to be armed. Lock guns down all you want, the bad people are going to have them. There's no changing that fact. For me and my family, I would much rather, as I said, "even the playing field". Is it sad? Maybe. But it is what it is, and this is the world today. [/quote]

My mom owned a rifle and I remember laying in bed at night worrying that someone would break in and find it and then use it against us.  She handed it to the police station eventually.  Good thing, too, because she ended up being not the most stable person in the world.[/quote]
