The BS "if guns are outlawed, only criminals will have guns" has obviously been tatooed on your brain. Hence I encouraged you to check your facts. I live in Australia - gun crime are virtually unheard of. Can you even imagine what that's like - living in a country where guns deaths are a very rare occurence?
As for killing someone - no...even if they broke into my house, I see no need to kill someone. The last 2 times someone tried to get into my house, I confronted them man-to-man, and both situations ended peacefully. How would my life be now if I was a scared little coward who pulled out a gun and killed those 2 people? I'd be a lower form of scum than them.
A fully alarmed house means the police might be 7 minutes away, but I'm about 30 seconds away from the break-in, and my neighbours (baseball-bat wielding Romanians and Italians) are about 2 minutes away. The intruder has no chance, and no-one will die. That's just fear-mongering to try and justify why you feel the need to hide behind a gun in your house.

In Australia we were told EXACTLY the same thing by the gun lobby. We outlawed guns, and guess what? Gun crimes have dropped, gun deaths have dropped - we don't have criminals armed with guns out roaming the streets.
Did you know that repeating a lie - however many times - still doesn't make it true?Declined but not done away with. In Australia only criminals have guns. The reality of the situation is apparent. Guns still exist, and only the criminals have them.

Short term you might be right. It will take a time to get all the guns in, and criminals will hold onto theirs the longest. Give it 10-20 years, and you'll have a completely different culture though. One where nancy-boys don't need to hide behind guns because the criminals don't have guns. One where a gun death is a major deal because they're such a rare event.America is different. Realize this. Guns deaths would drop if we outlawed guns, however, the statistics would most certainly reflect a frightening trend. Less suicides, less deaths from self-defense (i.e. lawfully armed citizens shooting assailants in protection of serious bodily harm or death), and more deaths from violent criminals shooting unarmed homeowners/citizens.
HANG ON...aren't you the coward, *****, chicken **** MF that's HIDING behind a gun?!??!? Bwahahahahahah - you make me laugh dude. Only someone weak needs a weapon, and when you need to revert to a gun then you're just a little girl in my eyes.You seem awful preoccupied with the safety and well being of intruders. Why is this? ****ing *****. Coward. Chicken **** mother****er. Afraid to kill someone that treads upon your turf?

There's a chance of a nuclear weapon hitting my city too...but I'm no bunker-builder. My life is focused on living, not obsessed with panic, fear, insecurity and trying to plan for the rarest of situations that might happen.You like to gamble with your life? Take the chance? You have seven minutes.

the big picture is 30,000 dead Americans which you're smugly prepared to write-off as acceptable losses because you like to pack a gun.
Yep. If my child was shot dead today by a gunman, I would blame the gunman, not the gun. Same if she was run over by a drunk driver, I would not blame the automobile manufacturer.
