My father-in-law (a proud owner of dozens of guns - he's a collector) has an interesting take on guns.... he once was walking on a street and saw a bunch of older ladies (in their 70s, he said) holding some sort of protest against the NRA or something like that.... so, he walks up to them and asks them a pointed question: "If a criminal breaks into your house and intends to kill you, how would you rather die? With one bullet to your head or 100 stabs with a knife?"
They told him they had never thought of it that way....
Remember that when you're drawing conclusions as to the usefulness of guns in our society.... here's another.... I would imagine that we are the most heavily armed civilian population in the world by a longshot.... ain't nobody invading our ******* country.
