Are you trying to tell that you always have a gun close to you when you sleep?! Are you that scared of buglars breaking in ?! I must say that it's a false sense of security. Many theifs aren't as stupid as you think. Most burglars are good at being very quit and can break in without waking you up. If it's the middle of the night and you're fast asleep, the burglar could use tools to open a window and crawl in without waking you up. It's that simple. If you were waken up, you'd be in the dark,sleepy and stumbling trying to get your gun. Not to mention that the thief usually just wants your valuable things instead of killing you. In fact, he"s more likely shoot if you've got a gun.

If you wan't to know the exact number about family homicides and road rage, look it up yourself! If you got so angry at a family member, you might take out a gun and shoot them without thinking. It's totally ridiculous comparing a gun to a knife or your fists. It would take many slashes with a knife to kill someone, while one shot of the gun can be fatal.

11,000 deaths each year from a firearm is pretty sugnificant even if the data isn't completely correct. In fact it's higher. It's doesn't matter if some of them have been deaths from firearms out of self-defence, that's still a death. Is the thiefs life not important? The total number deaths from a firearm each year in the United States alone (no matter the reason) is around 25000.

There was once a time where theory picked a fight with what was believed to be reality,and theory threw what was believed to be reality into the dirt, and proceded to give it a sound beating...
