Many democrats, living in their drug-induced fantasies, have cited bogus statistics stating that it is safer not to own a gun rather than to own one. What do you think Barbara Boxer/Hillary Clinton/Charles Schumer (put in any other democrat who robotically repeats this drivel here) would say about gun ownership to this young woman:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/03/26/accuser.slain.ap/index.html
"Authorities say her killer was the same man who had raped the 20-year-old woman, nicknamed "Molly," nearly 2 years earlier. They said he had threatened her family, and finally slashed her throat to keep her from testifying against him at his upcoming trial."

I keep one. I also have a concealed carry permit. If people know how to use them and MAKE SURE kids cannot access them, then by all means, let's protect ourselves and our property.

Of course it's more dangerous to own a gun! What if you accidentally have the gun turned backwards when you go to defend yourself? Or what if the home invader puts you in a trance and takes the gun away from you? Or what if your house is haunted and an evil spirit puts the gun in your kids toy box?
Ok, to be a little more serious, police statistics show that every time they are called to a shooting in the home, they find out that a gun was in the home at the time of the shooting, and there are very few police reports of a gun being legally stored in a home. So do the math, and don't ever argue with statistics or lawmakers because they are always right.

Okay, first, congratulations on writing one of the most illogical, over-dramatized and unobjective questions in Yahoo! Answers' history.
I don't think that anyone (even those drug-using democrats) would say that it is 100% horrible to own a gun. And you don't have to worry, I don't see them overturning your second ammendment rights anytime soon.
What happened to that girl is a tragedy, but it can hardly be an accurate portrayal of the lives and deaths of 99.999% of gun-owners in the US.
Most gun-owners are never in a position to have to use a gun in that kind of situation. If you consider that, the chances of a gun being a "danger" kind of goes up a little bit, since if they aren't used for actual life-saving reasons, they are either sitting unused, are used for hunting, or can be stored/handled incorrectly and be dangerous.
By the way, I didn't see where owning a gun would really have helped her anyway. She wasn't in her home. She would have had to be wearing a holster with a gun, easily accessible, and even then, it probably would have done no good. Being grabbed and having her throat slashed probably happened so quickly she didn't even have a chance to defend herself.
So, how is this an arguement for how democrats are drug-induced idiots and guns are necessary? The real problem here was with the judicial system, in my opinion, and the fact that the girl didn't seem to think she was in danger.

At least half of the population in our town know who owns hand guns and who hunts, indicating they have at least one rifle. On my door I have a ruger sticker indicating I am a trapper and hand gun owner. I have never been broken into or had tools stolen. We have gone away to work in a larger city for 6 months and forgotten to lock the door. Nobody cut the grass while we were gone but no one had entered the house either. I have shown our daughter how to protect herself , even though in Canada The crimminal code forbids the application for a hand gun under a self protection question. I'll worry about that part of it afterwards. At least me and mine will still be around to argue.the point.
Is it safer to own a gun and if need be use it.? No one will come into my house in the middle of the night. For their safety I will send them down to your house.

If you can answer and pass the government form when you make a purchase then no, you would be safer owning a weapon.
If you use drugs, are violent to your spouse, have drinking problems, criminal history, then you and I are safer if you do not have a weapon.
Schumer clitoon and boxer are all staunch communists, they want to disarm americans so they can sieze control of our lives and our money.

It is safer for most of us when the democrats do not own guns. Then the republicans don't have to use theirs in self defense.
