anyone here that wants to protect their family would be better served by getting rid of the guns in their house.
that isn't a personal attack. it's a statistic.

like i said somewhere above, since most murder victims know their killer, you're right. i have no idea tho the #'s of folks killed accidentally. i also read and posted on here that 55% of gun deaths each year are suicide. but our suicide rates are in line with other countries.
at any rate, this thread has been a long one. props to everyone for keeping it relatively clean...
at any rate, i doubt any minds were changed one way or the other- or that they ever will be.
