See now, when intelligent people think about something they come to a completly logical conclusion.

Guns are ofensive weapons, not defensive. You have what a 5% chance you both shoot and he misses you?

Dumbest defense ever. Get some good locks and alarms. If a robber enters you home you allready failed to protect your family and you should just be ashamed.

Now stop letting the NRA control you illogical emotions.

Interesting article Mr. Cramer. Now which of these items in the main have been a selection of choice by the person as opposed to required by legal statue? So much gratitude to the ever growing "nanny" state, led all to often by the imperial and liberty taking reason "its for the children".

Thank goodness the US Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that the 2nd Amendment applies to individual citizens and not the state.

It is the individual holding the firearm that decides whether he/she is on the offensive or defensive.

Firearms are made of metal and plastics, do not have brains, or attitudes. With my Glock I have about 100% chance of hitting an intruder. If I miss the first couple of times I still have 13 or 14 chances left before I have to reload.
