Responding also to RAZD's comment in the Peanut Gallery:

This is obviously an emotional issue for many people, but I have yet to see a rational reason to have a gun presented.
I commented in the Peanut Gallery, but here is a more appropriate place.
It would be best if you folks in the big cities kept your noses out of the business of those of us who live way out in the hills. You say you don't know of any reasons for owning a gun? Right there you shot yourself in the foot. Perhaps if you ventured beyond the pavement you would have a clue.
Your laws for controlling inner cities are fine--there (they don't work, of course), but you have absolutely no business trying to apply those laws to those rest of us who live far from the big cities.
Those advocating universal "gun control" are a bunch of busy-bodies. They (you?) should just butt out. (Or perhaps they could become missionaries, so they could really mess things up for those who just want to be left alone.)

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
