I grew up with guns, never an issue because like all tools, I was trained in how to use them, I trained my daughter and she has a carry permit. I have guns that are over 100 years old, I can hunt, shoot and self protect. It's my right and one I cherish.
My daughter grew up in a house that had many guns in it, she visited her grandma that had even more guns. And her grandfather has more guns than that. Yet no one got hurt, because we handle them responsibly
Hey, like I said I'm not even advocating for you to lose your right to own guns. It's interwoven in US culture right from the very foundation documents. Who knows, it is even possible that sometime in the future the people will have had enough and even rise up to put the goverment back in its place with those very same guns. Wouldn't that be something?

I think it's important to be honest though. United State's citizens, in general, are not MORE safe because of their culture of gun ownership. They are in fact LESS safe. It's simple to see. Well, unless of course there's that revolt thing I mentioned. In which case ... Viva la revolucion!
