"Omegamon_X said something in another thread that that raised some questions in my mind : Mainly : why ? Specifically , why worry about the threat of potential harm from criminals ? Statistically , the risk of such is relatively low compared to , say , the leading killer in the developed world . You face a much greater threat of potential harm from that than at the hands of a criminal . Are you as adamant about eating healthy as you are about the need to have a gun ? The fact is , we all constantly face the threat of potential harm every minute of every day . Risk is a part of living . I would like to know why guns specifically are needed to mitigate the risk of being the victim of a crime , when other methods ( better locks , alarms , non-lethal weapons like pepper spray and tasers ) can be effective ."
"I think a more telling question would be , why the hell would you rather feel constantly threatened than feel safe ? It seems completely idiotic to me . Smiley"
