Yeah try pulling that bullet out of your statistically inclined ass after the burglar shoots you.

So, when the burglar shows up, you will
a) shoot him in the face b) not shoot him in the face c) ask him if he wants a smoke d) run like a sissy cause you got no bullets

As far as no bullets, an unloaded gun is just a piece of metal.

I had a friend (a gun owner) a long time ago that got in trouble with The Law and was emotionally distraught. He confided in me that he either wanted to shoot himself or open up an automatic weapon on a crowd. He never once mentioned shooting a burglar.
I have known of three people somewhat close to me killed by guns.
1. A cop, a neighbor and the father of my babysitter when I was a pre-teen, who ate his gun during a depression.
2. My ex-fiancé's sister was going through a divorce. Her estranged hubby shot her point blank with a deer rifle (just used for hunting) at a 7/11.
3. Friends/neighbors (husband and wife) were shot to death by their son 4 years ago three houses down from me.
Not much familial protection or shooting of bad guys going on that I have witnessed.

What about the statistical probabilities that you could shoot yourself with your own gun? Or get drunk and maybe shoot someone?

I know more people killed by cars. A lot more. 
Remember folks, guns don't kill people, cars do. Don't drive and drive.

agree about the cars, but what you gonna do? Almost have to drive in this country if you want any mileage
As far as guns and the inherent danger in them, I do believe they enable violence more than other weapons (takes a lot more balls to attack someone with a knife) but at the same time I'm not objected to violence. It is what it is, as little as I'd like to be shot or stabbed, and as much as it sucks to lose a few teeth in a street fight.

So your bias comes from being around unstable people, mine comes from being around responsible people. To each their own

What kind of daft statement is that?

Your bias against guns being used for personal/familial protection. Although I may be jumping to a conclusion.

My own thoughts have been mainly
Quote:
ThatKidWithTheFace said: I hold in my hand the power to end life. Whether my own or another's.
The fact that this small chunk of metal, crafted by men, has such a presence . . . such an aura of power . . .is fascinating.
With a simple twitch of my finger, I could make something cease to exist.
That's a hell of a notion if you ask me.
When a friend of mine got back from Iraq he said almost these exact words, he had killed someone in self defense (as that goes in a war). Knowing him well and seeing what that did to him psychologically was an episode, then there's the matter of the actual dead man.
Very strange, and this quote almost word for word what he said to me.
