Rather than the starter of the thread?

Not sure what your objections to my post are. I'm guessing you're saying I am using fear as a tactic? If not, please explain what I should respond to and I will.

If you are saying I'm using fear: Quite the contrary. I'm attempting to counter fear.

The number used in anti-gun groups is about 33,000 firearms deaths a year. That sounds like a lot, and it is. But keep in mind that over 2.4 MILLION people die in the USA every year. That means the odds of you dieing by a firearm are pretty small.

If you still aren't comforted, you can choose to not have a firearm in your house. That way you can't kill yourself with it, via accident or suicide, nor can a burgular take it from you and kill you with it. That only leaves someone bringing a gun to you and killing you, and unless you run with a bad crowd that just plain isn't very likely at all. (Most murders are committed by someone closely known by the victim.)
