To the man I sat next to on the train: I am the gun owner you hate

[Jazzhead]

Then I guess we should hope your home is not invaded by people who would harm you and are confident you won't fight back.

Just as I should (and of course do) hope your happy home isn't torn apart by a gun being too convenient a way to end an argument or dull the ache of depression.

Not a problem in my household, but thanks for the concern.

This is a choice that each of us needs to make on our own.   For every household that's been broken apart because of an armed robbery or home invasion that could perhaps have been prevented by gun ownership,  there are significantly more broken apart by a gun accident or the use of a gun to commit suicide.

   

Yeah, where do you get those stats from?

  But as for myself,  I think my home is safer without guns.

 

I do believe you are correct on that
