My father had guns and I was always taught, guns are not toys. If you buy one for protection, you don't threaten someone with it, nor do you aim to maim. You shoot to kill. And if you are not ready to do that, then, I think another form of defense is for you.


I agree 100%. You should be trained in gun safety and demonstrate precision in target practice in order to own a gun. Owning a gun is a serious responsibility that requires good judgement and experience.
