I live in Texas...Texas Chainsaw Massacre ring a bell? That's a true story that could've been avoided with some ammo...nah seriously though. Robbed every two months?!!! That's ridiculous! Maybe a gun would be in order. I'm not like advocating to start a shootout if yer being held at gunpoint, but a dude coming in with a golf club trying to rob you has gotta respect a barrell. But I guess you can't have one there now anyways huh. And it really doesn't matter what kind of area you live in. There's some really crazy people in this world, and it only takes one freak to cause havoc. Just look what happened to Dimebag. Not that having a gun somewhere in the crowd would've prevented that, but maybe ended it a lot quicker. It ended fairly quickly anyways thanks to an excellent shot by a policeman. And don't try to turn that situation for yer argument by saying if we had a law against weapons it would've prevented that...it wouldn't. Trying to end gun violence by outlawing them just seems like nonsense to me, criminals are by definition outlaws.
