As far as the whole gun thing, for me it's a no-brainer. If someone breaks into my home at night, there will not be enough time for the police to get there and take those bad people out. As an average woman, 5'7" and 130 lb, I am no match in a hand to hand combat with a man, and I have four kids that I need to protect. A gun is an equalizer. Our constitution says we have the right to bear arms and it shall not be infringed. If people aren't comfortable around guns and don't want to use them, that's fine. But it amazes me that people think that they are a bad thing in general terms.
