58. My daughter is alive today ...
because she had access to a firearm and was able to stop an intruder who was breaking into our home with a burglar alarm sounding and a 60 pound black Lab inside.

She pointed a large caliber revolver at the intruder as he was halfway through a sliding glass door he was forcing open. He ran. No shots were fired.

Guns are neither good or bad. They are inanimate tools incapable of good or evil. The user determines the end result. They can be used to commit crime and they can be used to stop crime.

We wouldn't have a crime problem if we just banned and eliminated people.
