Well, Shrimpy, do you think it was better that the lady ex-police officer had a gun in the house when she mentally snapped and shot her husband while he was taking a shower? This happened just about 2 years ago in The Villages. There was a several hour standoff before she surrendered. She is now in prison.

How often does something like that happen? If she couldn't use a gun she'd have used a knive. Should we not own knives? I'm sure you wouldn't want to give up your kitchen knives because you can relate to them. I am certain you know little about guns. Guns are nothing but tools as are knives or hammers. It takes proper training to get proficient with them. If we follow your way of thinking we'd better give up our cars because we could die of a heart attack and kill several pedestrians.
