This is my opinon as well. I don't care if others keep guns. I just don't want them in my house. It's more likely to be used against you rather than you using it against anyone else. And I have a child in my home, no matter what locks, security you put on one - kids will figure out a way if they really want to. And in all honesty - I'm not sure I could actually shoot someone anyway, not that I'm not an excellent shot, killing somone is another matter entirely.

I grew up in a rural area where everyone had guns. My Jr. High even offered Hunters Safety as an elective class. I have no problem with sport shooting and hunting. I just don't think I need to have one in my house. But I do think that if others feel the need, then they do have the right. And no matter what you do, criminials will have guns and get more.
