Because that’s not how it would happen — no one is going to chop down my front door with an axe. It will either happen in public, or in my sleep, or in some other way in which a gun would not help me.

Look, there’s a 99% chance this is never going to happen — they’ll never find out where I live. And so in that case there is a 99% chance that I wouldn’t even need the gun. But I don’t want a gun in my home, period, especially if it’s there just for a 1% chance of something occurring.

Secondly, even in that 1% chance scenario, it’s extremely likely that the gun will be useless, because we will not be a in a gun-battle scenario.

The odds of the gun serving any real function other than making me “feel safe” are miniscule; the odds of the gun’s existence making me feel uncomfortable and nervous is very large. I opt not to have one.

If other people want to have guns - fine by me. I support the second amendment. I’m just not one of those people.

In the words of the late George Carlin, “What’s the meaning life…to LIVE!”

You have the guts to wade through the dregs of insanity and photograph it’s twisted face yet a GUN makes you nervous?!
