You really need to come take my class. I have to ask, are you afrid of your toaster? It can hurt you, ruin your bread, make your day start off all wrong if used improperly. No inaninate object ever hurt anyone. People hurt people. Your so called Gun Control Programs are nothing more that People Control Programs, as only law abiding citizens will do what the government asks of them.
Here is some interesting items for you:
Myth: Guns are not a good deterrent to crime
Fact: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day. Often the gun is never fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.
Fact: It seems to be slowing down property crime (especially burglaries).
Fact: Every day, 550 rapes, 1,100 murders, and 5,200 other violent crimes are prevented just by showing a gun. In less than 0.9% of these instances is the gun ever actually fired.
For the rest of the story, google Gun Facts 6.0 and read all there is to know about being armed and how crime is reduced when citizens are armed.
