I like your post, probably because it's what I've been saying for years.
"Reliable means of personal defense" can be bars on windows, a dog, or a variety of other things. A great many people will automatically think "a gun," but in order for it to be reliable, you'll need training.
That said, it's hard to fathom the reasoning employed by gun banners.
Although I hate to bash cops, because I've known some nice, professional ones, there are enough dirty ones surfacing that I can't support law officers until they clean up their own ranks.
And until judges quit allowing them to lie with impunity.
