Therein lies the irony. Owning a gun for protection guarantees nothing.

Owning a cell phone to dial 911 guarantees you much less. The pro-gun side never said owning a gun guaranteed anything. We're saying that is gives you better odds (much better odds) of survival in a dangerous situation.

Just like a fire extinguisher won't guaranty your house won't burn down, for those times when you really need one though... nothing else works quite as well.
