Who owns guns and you carry?

[Seanjackmc]

I think the media likes to sensationalize things that make good news stories. I think a lot of Americans fall victim to the media trap. It's for making money, not sharing facts about the world we live in. Here's one that supports both sides of the claim: How many of you have known someone who was shot in an act of violence excluding wartime and how about knowing someone who shot someone in defense excluding wartime? Please share the circumstances so I can wake up from my delusion.

How many of you are actively concerned in your daily activities with preventing damage from heart disease and cancer? Those are the things that will kill you. This is fact.

How many carry firearms for protection but are obese, smoke cigarettes, or live sedentary lifestyles?

Again, no attack here... just food for thought / request for feedback.

It's completely ok with me if you choose to not carry or own guns. I think no less of you. I pray everyday I will never need to use my weapon. Unfortunately, if you watched any news the past month or two you will notice it doesn't matter where you live, where you work, where you shop or go to a movie, there are sick people out there who want to do harm. I refuse to be a victim. I've never had a gun pulled on me nor as anyone in my family. I'm willing to bet a lot of the poor victims in a Colorado movie theatre never had either. The point IMO you are missing is that there is no second chance. I choose to take a proactive stance on personal defense. You don't know if it will happen or when it will happen but ill be prepared if it does.
This is my personal decision.
