My dad has tons of guns all hidden in a cabinet or box or SOMEWHERE in the house. He has a few he uses for work. I'm not afraid of guns.. but I respect them as I've been taught at an early age that they can do a lot of damage... especially when used improperly.
I would not own a gun since I have depression. I don't want to lose control of my emotions and hurt myself or somebody else. I have razors hidden but you can do way less damage with an instrument that gives you time to think about what you're going to do next.
I think people should own one if they are willing to be responsible with it. They should not intend to hurt anybody with it. In fact.. they should buy it on the premise that they're never going to have to use it. But, then what's the use? If they EVER have to use it to fend off somebody then they have it.
My father never locked his cabinet when I was younger and I opened it a few times by accident.. forgetting what it was for.. and seeing his guns.. not knowing if they were loaded or not.. I left them be.. and did not touch. Ever. They are simply something I never have wanted nor needed.
