Gun owners?

[Whateverist]

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.

But would they really be that much better off if they manage to get off a few stray rounds which spray the general neighborhood where we all live?  I guess it would give them the illusion of efficacy while providing them with some neighbors to share the grieving process with if they lost some family and your stray shots found a home.
