Hey I agree... it would be nice to have no guns but that is entirely unrealistic. There will always be firearms. No one told me I needed it, I've just spent enough time living to see plenty of innocent people victimized by criminals by either being killed or all sorts of other terrible shit, simply because they had no means of defending themselves. Assuming you're safe in a world where you live with other unpredictable humans, seems a bit naive to me. Do I hope I never have to even raise this thing and point it at another person? Absolutely. In the very rare chance someone armed comes into my home with the intent on harming my family or otherwise, I'd rather have a .45 and a bright flashlight than a baseball bat or kitchen knife.
