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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
