The privilege of driving a car comes with a set of responsibilities for ensuring that the car is not used recklessly as a weapon against society. So too should gun ownership. If you keep a gun in your home for self-defense, then it is your responsibility to make sure that you only use it when you have exhausted all other means of keeping your home safe from intruders. |

| The writer by her own admission is not responsible enough to own a firearm and use it for self defense. But she apparently feels she has the right to dictate to others how they should act. She might be well advised to mind her own damn business. |

| HOW MANY GUDDAM TIMES MUST WE POINT OUT THAT DRIVING IS A PRIVILEGE AND BEARING ARMS IS A RIGHT? |

We have a "set of responsibilities" for owning a gun. It is called THE LAW. Learn it, understand it.
exhausting all other means of keeping your home safe is not part of the criteria. Fear of imminent death or grave bodily harm is. This threat is often so immediate that a challenging game of 3D chess with the assailant is not an option. You defend yourself or die.
Police are great people. But an assailant's knife or bullet will reach you before their radio car will pull in your driveway. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
