People who claim to use guns for self protection are pathetic. I think guns are fine for target practice and hunting but the argument that it will protect you is completely bogus.

Do you think the criminal with a gun is going to wait for you to get your gun in self defense before he pops a cap into the back of your head? No, he won't.

Do you think that people commonly find themselves protecting their house from break-ins using guns? No, they don't.

Is their something inherently wrong with societies that do not allow citizens to use guns? (Germany, Canada etc.)? They have lower crime rates in those countries.
