Like they say "guns don't kill people, people kill people"

Each side of the argument will draw on statistics that support their view. I grew up in the UK where it was (and still is) almost impossible to own a hand gun, our cops were not armed...that is until the criminals got guns and the cops found out a wooden truncheon doesn't stop a bullet. The UK vs. US stats that David B quoted tell the story, legal gun ownership in the hand of law abiding citizens is a deterrent.

Personally I never liked guns, but as I get older the World around me is changing, there are people that believe they can take what I have worked hard for and with an economy in the toilet the numbers of those people is growing. So, as much as I hate guns I find myself seriously considering gun ownership.
