Sometimes I can't help but to believe the anti-gun crew really doesn't understand the whole story, or why the pro-gun individuals think as they think. As invaluable as guns are for protection and peaceful mind on a daily basis, especially with a family - which is more than enough reason - they serve a much higher purpose, as well.
They raise a barrier against those who'd try to falsely play the "good guy" in ANY unreasonable, mass effort which may involve, for instance, trying to contain or (more likely) remove families on or from their property. Of course, greater force can be applied to those people, to kill them, as the naysayers so love to point out - (maybe they'll be killed by lazer beam!! or mini-nuke!!) - and that's not in question.
Once the killing starts, however, the trusty "good guy" act of authority can no longer be used. But, see, it's viewed as much too valuable to lose. The only thing wrong-doers have to hope to sway us, at the moment, is that act. Their concern for children is heart-warming, and all. (lol)
As of this date and time, that "good guy" act has been far-and-away the most powerful tool ever used against us. It isn't going to suddenly disappear if the user can continue to use it.
That's why guns, and lots of guns, in OUR hands, are so important. Because someday, that bluff may be called. All signs say it will. So don't give up those guns - the nation's children are NOT at risk for you having them. Quite the opposite: their risk is actually reduced.
