Guns are pointless. The chances of actually jumping out of bed, running to the closet, opening the safe, pulling out the gun, and putting in a full magazine, all between the time you actually hear the intruder and before he gets to you is slim. The only way to ensure a person can protect their family in time is to put the gun in a more accessible place.
That is when people get hurt.
When a gun is put in a place that would be logical for self-protection, a child in the house could find it. A gun is 2.7 times more likely to kill a family member than an intruder. A child has the right to grow up without the threat of guns and gun violence.
Something needs to be done about the accessibility of guns. As it is now, people with criminal records and those who are mentally unstable can easily gain access.
What needs to be done is increase gun control laws. When access to guns is limited, not only will there be less accidents but less crime as well.
Getting rid of guns will reduce violence and save lives. Sounds good to me.
