[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone bought a gun, without talking to me, into our family with young children, he would be sleeping on the street with his precious weapon. I am quite avidly anti gun and would not want this in my home.

Living with a hand gun owner makes you 7x more likely to be shot by your spouse. 84% of those victims are women. As for protection, no difference in homocides by strangers - living with a gun does not make you safer, and some studies showed gun owners actually more likely to be killed by strangers. Women are 50% more likely to die by suicide than gun-free neighbours and are 4x more likely to die by suicide from gun.

No thank you. [/quote]

Learn the difference between correlation and causation.

Bad/stupid people in general are more likely to own guns. This doesn’t mean that guns are making people bad, they already had issues to begin with. Give an intelligent and responsible person a gun and they won’t become any more dangerous than without one. [/quote]
