Personally, I am not a gun person. I don’t believe in them. I don’t own one. I don’t think I will never own one. I think streets are safer when people don’t have them.
However, I understand that people want to own them, do own them, and it is their rite to own them.
In Pennsylvania, there was a murder that made the news nationally where an 18 year old murdered his girlfriend’s parents with, I believe, his parents weapons. My question to all of you is this, if he had limited access to his parent’s weapons or if his parents had no weapons would the murders have happened?
Also for the ones on this site that own guns, his parents owned 54 guns. Why does one need 54 guns?
Here is the article of the 18 year old if you haven’t heard of the case:

Sorry if my comments ruffle some feathers.

He was an 18-year old adult with his mind set on killing his underage girlfriend's parents. Could've used a knife and butchered them, could've burned down their house and roasted them alive, could've poisoned them, etc, etc, etc.....
He was a criminal. Too bad the parents weren't armed or the right person might have died. Can't let them catch you unarmed. Criminals go armed, law-abiding citizens should in order to protect themselves from those who aren't law-abiding.

Chris,
I don't think that your posts ruffle any feathers. It's a legitimate question.
Jon Lott is an economist who attempted to take a look at gun owership and crime statistics. His research indicates More guns, less crime. (Which became the name of his book).

I hope this doens't come out sounding trite, but the tragedy in PA is the exception, not the rule and we could argue to the point of ad nasuem of what would have happend if there wasn't any guns in the house? (Would they have been stabbed, beaten, burned?).
