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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
