People say they have guns for self defense. I see those jokes about "My neighbor doesn't believe in guns...rob his house instead". Why would anyone knowing you have a gun make it more likely your house would targeted?
Because the number one item thieves look for when burglarizing a house are firearms. If a person stayed home all day every day, then yes, they'd have nothing to worry about. Seeing as most people leave their home on a frequent basis that's not the case.

And I maintain that with a population of 300 million plus there's still no way anyone is going to disarm American citizens. I mean, who would do it?
It would never happen. Even if all guns were made illegal tomorrow the vast majority of them would never be turned in. The problem is that the chipping away at gun owner's rights continues to happen in numerous states. When you turn millions of previously law abiding people into criminals with the stroke of a pen you're doing something wrong. There have been too many lies from the anti 2A side for gun owners to ever believe them.
