Plawsworth. Alchemy really did spend alot of time writing an elegant and informed response to your statement on our election system. Please re-read it again. It contains more answers, and surely will answer your question if you search it. Remember. Our system of government is a Republic. Not a Democracy.

Having them for protection against thieves etc doesn't seem logical for me, cause if the thief is armed, then you are going to have a gun battle in your own home and you can never know how that ends. Risking your life for your family is a good thing, though a baseball bat and a phone is proberly better. Also investing in better locks etc to ensure the thief doesn't get in the house from the first start.

Plawsworth, if a thief is armed you will always know how it ends. With the thief in control, and your lives of your family at his whim. A baseball bat and phone ensures that any resistance will be me with force.. the guns, and due to the phone the police will know where to find the bodies. Locks?? No. A theif that wants something and has a gun will get past it. Locks dont stop people with guns. At least not in my neighborhood.
I own a gun.. and the only thing more useless is an unloaded gun. If a thief breaks in and your gun is the the safe with a lock on it. How can it serve its purpose? Responsible gun owners keep thier guns in a safe place but don't handicap themselves and defeat its purpose. You shouldn't make gun laws for the majority based on the stupidity of the few.
Blackeagle wrote of the gun lock case with the buttons.. that is the best way imo as well.
