However, I don't see what the problem with gun ownership, since there are so many guns out there that it isn't likely that someone is going to get the list to start picking them off. On the up side, if you have a neighbor who seems off, it's helpful to know they're gun owners so you can feel comfortable about keeping your distance, and also prevent your children from playing in the house when the parents are not there, or if you know there are family problems, such as divorce.
It's nice to have the choice. Especially if you're brought up to be perpetually nice to everyone, sometimes it's good to have the information to ease your mind when you have to make a tough decision.
