Just like guns did not stop farmers from being mudered over in former Rhodesia, All farmers owned both hand guns and rifles but it did not stop so many of them from being murdered.

My dad owned a gun and it did not stop us from being burgled 5 fucking times or my mom from being mugged.

Until you are put into a situation where somebody enters your house whether they are armed or not you have no idea how you will react or what the outcome will be, and more than likely they will kill you first no matter how many guns you own.

The USA or South Africa or Mexico will not get any better until they take guns away from people.

I lived in a gun culture for 18 years and I would never want to go back to living like that again.

I am glad we now live in a country where gun crime is very very low and I dont have to have bars on the windows or high security fences and gates.

Do yourself a favour go and live in SA and take all your guns with you and see how far it gets you if you ever get into trouble over there.
