TH, okay well fuck statistics! I don't really care either way. I think you outlined my stance better than I can. I feel pretty much the exact same way. I have hunted, shot guns with friends in the fields, I just don't own a gun. Never had that much of a need, I'm not a huge hunter. I don't care if people own guns, only that they are fit to own and responsible with them.
I think your scenario of a robbery more realistic, and defenitely makes a gun for self-defense mute. I have never bought into arming civilians will stop crimes, mass murders, etc, etc. And you outlined the reasons why very well. It's bullshit.
ETA: I never really offered statistics, so you don't have to trust them, lol. I guess statistics is a bad word. Maybe just reality?
