I agree 100%. It is the person behind the gun as to whether it is used in a good or bad way. And that goes for any weapon, being a gun, knife, car, etc. I am a firm believer in owning guns and having them for hunting, home defense and other non-life threatening uses. Mine all stay where they should, until it's necessary to take them out. I live in Aztec, NM where 2 high school students were killed in a school shooting in December. We had officers onsite within 1 minute from the call, they were armed and ready to use force. The gun man had shot himself prior to officers arriving. I pray for all students, that they are safe in school and if someone tries to hurt them, officers or licensed gun carriers are there to help protect them.
