We should be saying "If we could just stop one act of tyranny."
Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

I didn't grow up with firearms, and when I first looked at the issue, I, too, fell for the "If it saves one life … " argument, as well as all the statistics we now seen thrown around by the anti-gun media. However, as I explored the issue further, I learned that many of the antigun "studies" have serious flaws, and much more methodologically sound studies reveal a net benefit to gun ownership, both in lives saved and diminished crime rates. Guns are used to stop a crime about 2.5 million times a year in this country, and usually never even fired in this scenario. These studies reveal that for every life lost to a gun, 65 lives are saved.
