Gun owners?

[Aroura]

There will always be a tradeoff between liberty and security. Those who argue against handgun ownership are saying that people do not have the right to protect themselves, their family or their property. Antigun people expect victims of crime to wait helplessly until the government rescues them. By then its usually too late.

Or perhaps we are saying that hand guns give one a FALSE sense of protection, and are actually more likely to cause you and your family harm than to help you protect your family.
I mean, look at all those British people being constantly raped and murdered waymore than the overly armed Americans because they cannot own a handgun for protection....oh wait.

I know, facts suck.

The funny thing is, I know most gun owners know these things. They know that studies back up the FACT that a handgun in the house, statistically speaking, is far more likely to cause violent harm to come to the owners than to help protect the owners (I am not arguing that people never protect themselves with a gun, so don't straw man me with that).
It seems most handgun owners fall into that all too common human error of thinking the bad thing will never happen to THEM.  They are too....smart, well trained, careful, prepared, etc.  What is really fucked up is that this "Invulnerabilty Theory" is a form of Victim Blaming.  They are in fact tacitly saying that all the people that own handguns and had some sort of accidental discharge, or shot thier kid thinking they were a thief or whatever, made some error that they themselves will never make.
