Am I the only one who is ok with guns?

Yeah the 'one gun' thing doesnt work tho...
Lets say i hunt deer, own a shop, enjoy sporting clays and have an apartment in a rough neighborhood...
Im gonna need several guns to cover all that

“Aside from Law Enforcement and the U.S. Military, it should be restricted to one per person. I don't see why owners have arsenals in their closets. That's ridiculous, unless you're some sort of gun collector.”

Because that is their right. There are different weapons for different types of game. I came from a family of hunters. My dad’s were always within sight, but I never touched them. People use them for sport, target practicing. Most of us are responsible gun owners. We have different types. I don’t hunt and my husband isn’t able to anymore, but we carry for protection.

It has now come out it took 16 long minutes for LE to arrive at that lunatic’s door. A security guard was shot through the door 6 minutes before the AH started his murderous rampage. Just suppose people were in their rooms and he had the floor barricaded to prevent others from arriving. Who is going to help those people in their rooms? Could maybe a civilian with a weapon help? Could possibly a hunter with his long rifle help? I would much rather try to protect my family with my lasered weapon than to be a sitting duck just waiting for the shot.

Do you remember the Luby’s restaurant massacre in 1991? The nut ran his truck through the window and murdered 23 people. A woman who was licensed to have a weapon, but not permitted to carry saw her parents slaughtered. She said if she only had been able to confront the guy maybe some lives would have been saved. You don’t read about it, but people are saved everyday by someone having a gun on them.

What if a person hears somebody walking around their kitchen at 2 or 3 a. m., goes downstairs or whatever to the kitchen, shoots the person and finds out that s/he has shot and killed their spouse, friend or one of their kids who just went down to the kitchen to get a midnight snack or a drink of water?

There was a rather horrific incident not that long ago in Indianapolis, IN, where a family who kept their loaded and unlocked handgun on a high shelf in their bedroom closet had a death in the family due to their stupidity and carelessness regarding their firearm. Their 4 year old kid climbed up to the shelf in the bedroom closet, got hold of the gun, shot himself in the head, and killed himself. Because the parents were in another part of the house taking care of their younger kid, who was only 1 year old, they didn't see or hear their 4 year old kid go into their bedroom. This tragedy, like other gun tragedies, was totally preventable. It did not have to happen.

The parents should've known better, first of all because babies and small children are curious. They run around, they climb, and, in general, get into things, often that they shouldn't be getting into, in the first place. Secondly, it was totally irresponsible for the parents to keep a loaded gun on just the highest shelf in their bedroom closet where a young child could get to the gun just by climbing, instead of keeping it unloaded, and under lock and key, like they should've. Had the parents used common sense, their older kid would still be alive and healthy today.
