We’re Americans, DO. It should be the default expectation that we own firearms! :)
I agree, but tens and perhaps hundreds of millions of us don’t.
Some folks didn’t grow up on a farm and learn about guns early in life. They’re actually afraid of them.
I believe it’s a man’s responsibility to be able to protect the home from intrusion or attack so his spouse and family are safe.
In an uncivil world, guns are what guarantee a civilized society.
You may not prevail, but those who screw with you unprovoked or unreasonably, stand to pay a heavy price.
