    If you have an emergency you want the tool that protects against that emergency.

    If there’s a fire you want a tool to put the fire out. That could be a bucket, but a fire extinguisher works better.

    If you are threatened with a violent person who wants to do you harm, can you name a more effective tool than a gun?

      Guns don’t work like video game guns. You can shoot a person 10 times and inflict 10 fatal wounds, and they can still keep coming at you.

      If you aim for the head, who is behind them? A bullet doesn’t just stop when it hits something.
      What the chance you’ll miss? A bullet can go a long way if it doesn’t hit your target.

      People take time to die. Other people can be behind your target. Guns don’t protect, they only kill.
