Guns were made to kill. Nothing more nothing less..argue semantics all you want but guns are produced with one single objective.
Everyone I know with a gun, over 20 people in my circle, use them for personal protection and recreation, not to kill.
My friend Carla was recently car jacked and was able to not only get out of the car, but turned it around and forced her attacker out of her car so she could drive home and not be stuck. This would not have been possible without her firearm, in fact she would be a victim, and probably wouldn't be safe and alive if not for her weapon.
A gun is a tool, to be used with whatever intention it's wielder desires.
I like using mine to paint pretty pictures on bulls eyes and to deter crime in my vicinity. My neighbors all have guns and so do I. I will shoot you if you're partaking in criminality on my property (at my discretion and within reason obviously) and so will they.
We react much more quickly than the local police dept, and have every right to do so.
And guess what? There's no crime on my street, can you guess why?
Have there been shootings? Yes. There have been people trying to break and enter other's homes who have been shot. No more B&E's around here...
A couple years ago a guy got shot in the leg while trying to steal a neighbors car. My neighbor subdued him while I tended his injuries while we waited for the authorities. Guess what? No more crime on my street.
If fact, mine is one of the safest hoods in this area, and I wouldn't trade that security for anything.
