Absolutely agree. Even from my own experience alone. Growing up in a farming background, and also personally appreciating the wilderness, then i can absolutely agree about owning a gun.
Not many wild pigs or dogs where i am. Even for miles. You have to travel further away from the city.
But in public, i personally feel safe enough not to have to carry. Also i'd have to go out of my way to be approved a licence here. My area is too suburban.
Even for the sake of self defense. Every crazy looney, drugged up junkie, rapist or axe murderer is gonna use a gun, if it means being safe.
But it's too hard for the crazy looney to get a gun. So they grab an axe instead. They are just looney and want to kill someone imo. They shouldn't deserve the same freedom to own a weapon.
How many people you reckon the axe murderer would kill using an AR-15 instead?
I believe in gun responsibility. It would be irresponsible of me to personally own a gun, in the busy society im in. That is it. That is all i want to say.
