Im a gun owner and I dont have much use for the NRA....
yes, I know they hunt them down, but the majority of those arent reported anywhere, is my assumption here, so they wont be able to find them, regardless of where the look.
when a gun is used to stop a rape i.e. a woman (or man i guess) is confronted by the would-be attacker, the gun is produced, the attacker flees... dont think the cops would often get called in that situation so there wont be many news reports...
Cops have got a right to protect themselves...
All of you would do the same thing if some big ass mental patient was swinging a fucking screwdriver at your neck.
