The statistics show - conclusively in my opinion - that guns in houses leads to more deaths and permanent disabilities for kids in those houses than have been caused by outside disturbances.

Lets look at the statistics on how many people die in car accidents, and then be horrified at the number and come to the conclusion that "cars are bad" based off of that. Because that is essentially what you are doing, only you give the car a pass but not the gun. Justifiable homicide, regardless of how frequent or infrequent doesn't diminish the right.
did you really just say one of the most stupid things I have ever read on the net???
You: wants guns to protect my home and family
RAZD: but stats show that in reality, having guns causes more damage to home and family
You: ah, but cars kill people
do I really have to spell out to you the utter fallacy of this? Cars by their very nature do not exacerbate the problem they are trying to solve. RAZD is claiming that the possession of guns exacerbates the problem they are trying to solve. THIS is what you have to refute. Try again.
