You said to protect your family from a threat, no matter what the odds are of being effected by it. It is possible that within the next week there will be volcano in your own back yard. The odds aren't good (roughly a 1:15,000,000,000 chance), but it's certianally possible. You act as if the odds don't matter, I prove that they do.
What steps are you taking to protect your family from cell phone cancer? What steps are you taking to prevent your kids from being brainwashed by MTV? What step are you taking to prevent your wife from being victimized by diseases such as the flesh eating bacteria?
You are being selectively protective, and it shows that there is alterior motive behind your wanting to own a gun. You can't use your family as an excuse if you don't protect them from other possible dangers.
