re: #141 Dark_Falcon

I own a shotgun, mostly so that my kids understand what a gun is, since they will see them around the US. The only way I’m going to protect my house with the shotgun is if the intruder sits down and watches tv after he breaks in.

Myth #5: Keeping a gun at home makes you safer.
Fact-check: Owning a gun has been linked to higher risks of homicide, suicide, and accidental death by gun.
• For every time a gun is used in self-defense in the home, there are 7 assaults or murders, 11 suicide attempts, and 4 accidents involving guns in or around a home.
