Funny that you can have them to hunt rats and other pests, but not to defend against intruders.
You folk have too much faith in your police in their little fast cars and their billy clubs. I simply prefer to take the safety of my family into mine own hands. Is that so wrong?

You got a gun - the burglar gets a gun. Your family is less safe. I prefer a baseball bat.
You keep a gun - your child gets to play with it.
You keep a gun - your child gets to take it to school to use it on his friends.
You keep a gun - one day your child is depressed. So he gets your gun.
I'm not sure how guns keep your family safer.
