The reason I own a gun is so the King of England can't come in my home and start pushing me around.
....a little credit to Homer Simpson.
Seriously.....yesterday here in a small county just outside of Nashville, a boy pulled a .45 out and shot his bus driver multiple times because she busted him for having and dipping snuff. They boy was 14 years old. I'm sure that since this happened some politicians will want to ban handguns. It is already illegal for the boy to have a .45 but he got it anyway. Even if we were in a "gun free utopia" the boy probably still would have used a knife, tree trunk, or large jaw bone. Fact of the matter is, we'll always find something to defend ourselves or harm others with.
