Tell you what you finance everyone who wants to leave where they are because it's a crappy area or country and make sure that they're set up to have place to live and a job to support themselves. I live in the same house that my parents lived in when I was born 52 years ago I have and am raising three children here, I'm a law a biding citizen and I volunteer in the neighborhood, I work at the school helping children with LD get the services that they need. I was a Girl Scout Leader for 6 years and a volunteer tutor for 5 years why should I move from my house because some people move in the area that aren't exactly purple medal winners??? What about my rights?? What about my children's rights to live in a calm peaceful area with out having to worry about coming home from work or school after dark

I have to say, I'm a little offended by your question........
But I will take the time to respond. I don't live in fear anymore. Owning a gun gives me a sense of safety that I didn't have before. I don't need to move. What happened to me can happen anywhere in this country, or any other. The man didn't break into my home to rob me, he had broken out of jail and was trying to escape. I live in a good community, but I had no control over what happened to me.
I will presume that you don't know what it's like to wake up and have someone else deciding whether you are gonna live or die. For 30 min this man chose for me.
I feel as though your question says I'm "stupid" for owning a gun, and for staying in my home. I will not let the criminal run me away from MY home, that I worked hard for.
I thought you had a valid point in your other question, but no so much here.
I see the link was useful.

I think if you were to spend some time actually looking at statistics and researching these things you'd see that poverty levels and the number of people per square mile tend to cause more crime than guns. I think the answer to America's problem of violence is education, not gun control. I'd rather not live in a totalitarian state. I think you and all your like minded friends ought to watch the movie "V for Vendetta". Its the perfect example of why you shouldn't trade your freedoms for safety in the face of danger.
Benjamin Franklin said: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
I hope you take the time to read this quote and think about what all it might mean. The reason we have guns is to discourage and possibly fight if neccesary, a tyrannical government. If it ever comes to this then I think you will be found woefully underprepared if not willing to submit to whatever America's government could become. If it ever comes to that then I and your more responsible fellow citizens will be prepared to deal with it and perhaps you will see the error of your ways.

Some people keep a gun in the house and won't leave, because they are the problem, and not the area that they live in.
So, if they leave, the problems with needing a gun follows them.
But then again, most people don't even know there neighbors, because they are to busy working to pay the bills.
If you don't know them, how can you trust them?

Wrong, wrong, wrong. You are out in left field. Why should anyone move out of their home for fear of being a victim. Why should the criminal have all the rights and the privileges and the honorable citizen make all the concessions. And furthermore, please, I beg of you, show me what country on the face of the earth is 100% crime free.
You are setting yourself up to be a statistic. You will fall under the column of victim.

Well I would think because the person just didn't have the money to just get up & leave you know? So they felt more comfortable with a gun in the house.
There could be many reasons, but that's one reason I would think someone wouldn't move.

Well, even if you sell the gun, there's a good chance you can't leave.
