If dems were for this, they’d be out there talking about the times when people saved their lives and others with their guns

They would talk about the 2+ milion times a year a gun thwarts a criminal.

I lived in a high crime area, but debated whether or not to have a pistol in the house. I was not sure I could shoot someone when the time came. After I was a crime victim with a man with a knife, I knew I could at least shoot in the thigh, if not to kill, and my husband helped me buy a 357 and learn how to shoot. At the time of the crime all the strength flowed out of me so I made sure the trigger pull was very light so I could fire if needed even if my strength was low. Years later when my son was a teenager we had an incident and I hid the gun near the front door. My sons found it and shot it, I think accidentally because of the light trigger pull. Thank God my husband and I had taught them never to point even a play gun at something they would not want to shoot. I still have a bullet hole in my living room floor and the basement ceiling.
