The problem i have with handguns and guns in general in the hands of the wrong people is that mistakes are really tough to undo. Prisons are full of people who simply made mistakes shooting someone they thought were there to rob them or just steal an inexpensive item.. What may seem to be justifiable killing may just turn out to be a murder 1 rap.
I'm not totally against guns. They have their uses, but protecting easily replaceable items via outright murder? There have been cases of people getting killed for less than walking on someone's lawn. No, I'm not the grumpy lawn owner willing to murder someone for walking on my grass.. They would have to at least pick one of my prized flowers to get killed over..
Seriously though, I really don't own anything worth killing someone over. It would have to be a matter of life and death before I'd even consider shooting someone. I lead a pretty rough life as a younger man, hitch hiking coast to coast multiple times, hanging out in real rowdy bars, dope houses and so on without guns in my life, but for me personally my strongest objection to ME having a gun handy is that I've been known to have suicidal tendencies. I would have shot myself on several occasions if I had one which is why I simply don't. How others feel is entirely up to them. I'm not a law maker and don't pretend to be one.
