more lives are saved every year because of guns than are ever taken with guns.....
Defensive uses of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence, although the exact number remains disputed. Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.”
you are ABSOLUTELY paranoid about guns andy...
According to the FBI, in 2014, there were 8,124 total firearm-related homicides in the US, with 5,562 of those attributed to handguns.[8] The Centers for Disease Control reports that there were 11,078 firearm-related homicides in the U.S. in 2010.[10] The FBI breaks down the gun-related homicides in 2010 by weapon: 6,009 involved a handgun, 358 involved a rifle, and 1,939 involved an unspecified type of firearm.[11] In 2005, 75% of the 10,100 homicides committed using firearms in the U.S. were committed using handguns, compared to 4% with rifles, 5% with shotguns, and the rest with unspecified firearms

1) I want a gun because i enjoy target shooting and i want to be able to defend myself
2) I want to, i dont care what you want, you are free to want whatever you want, thats the whole point
3) Again, i dont care what you think, that is up to you
4) I dont know, i am not you, nor do i care for your perspective on life, it is irrelevant to this issue
5) If you dont want to own a gun, it doesnt matter. you can get pepper spray i guess
6) If they arent waving it around and shooting people im sure its fine. but in any case if you call the police, the police can go see if they have a permit if required and the police can deal with it and no one is bothered but you.
7) " an armed society is a polite society" meaning if people who intend to commit crime know their victims are usually armed, they are less likely to want to commit crime for fear of being shot, you know, which is kind of the point
