Second, if you have a gun in your home the chances are that it will kill a resident, not an intruder. If an intruder does break into your home they're ready for a fight. You're not. You're in bed asleep. They shoot you as you wake up, not as you search around for your gun.The news is loaded with stories about people shooting burglars at all hours of the day.
And that's the point where you find out exactly how useful prayer really is.

"An 84-year-old Pennsylvania man successfully fought off a home invasion, fatally shooting one intruder after two men broke into his house in the middle of the night.
Ellwood City police said Don Lutz was awakened by a noise around 1:15 a.m. Friday. He grabbed a handgun, which he told KDKA he keeps under his pillow while he sleeps, and went out to investigate.
He was met by two men breaking into his home.
“I was in bed sleeping, they woke me up,” Lutz told KDKA. “Woken up to them busting in on my front door, and I went out in the hallway in the dark, and I met this one guy, and he went to grab me and that’s when I shot him.”"

Police: Federal agent fatally shoots intruder in her home
https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-worl...-her-home/
"MIAMI (AP) — Police say a federal agent has fatally shot an intruder inside her home near Miami.
The Miami Herald reports that the shooting occurred around 1:30 a.m. Monday. U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed that the shooter was 55-year-old Maria Otero, the branch chief of the agency’s Miami office.
Miami-Dade police say 28-year-old Robert Young III smashed in a glass sliding door at Otero’s home in Pinecrest. Detectives didn’t immediately know whether Young was armed, but Florida’s self-defense law generally permits deadly force against any intruder."
Yeah mister gun owner and the thing likely to do is panic and die . Because you have no clue how to use a gun in real life or death situation . And a cold blooded killer is always going to have an edge to a law abiding citizen .
False equivalency. A gun is designed to kill .
Gun violence has always existed in the US
Here's a dumb meme
Ones a rapid fire weapon the other is not . And no gun control would not lead to more crime
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
