Shots Fired, Patrons Panic at San Antonio Theater

5. Why?

You keep dangerous weapons in your basement? Why? Are you expecting to be invaded? And no, I know many, many people who don't own an assault weapon.

The problem is the innapropriateness of the instrument itself. If you're the kind of person who believes in gun ownership for more than home defense and then keeps a canon in order to accomplish that, there is something incongruous with your thinking. The presence of a weapon in a home increases the chances of violence by more than a third. Who would want to open their home to that kind of risk?
