Does a Gun in the Home Make You Safer?

No. Despite claims by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that you need a gun in your home to protect yourself and your family, public health research demonstrates that the person most likely to shoot you or a family member with a gun already has the keys to your house. Simply put: guns kept in the home for self-protection are more often used to kill somebody you know than to kill in self-defense; 22 times more likely, according to a 1998 study by the Journal of Trauma.[1] More kids, teenagers and adult family members are dying from firearms in their own home than criminal intruders. When someone is home, a gun is used for protection in fewer than two percent of home invasion crimes.[2] You may be surprised to know that, in 1999, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, there were only 154 justifiable homicides committed by private citizens with a firearm compared with a total of 8,259 firearm murders in the United States. Once a bullet leaves a gun, who is to say that it will stop only a criminal and not a family member? Yet at every opportunity the NRA uses the fear of crime to promote the need for ordinary citizens to keep guns in their home for self-protection. Furthermore, the NRA continues to oppose life-saving measures that require safe-storage of guns in the home.

The home invasions which do not happen because of guns don't figure into the statistics, so it is hard to quantify.

Also, the need to have powered rifles and automatic weapson for "hunting" are disgusting because these weapon are usually used on cops.

Agreed. There is no reason for automatic weapons.

If you want to hunt, be a man, like my brother who uses a bow during bow season. If you can bring down an animal like our ancestors did and you use the meat I have no problem with hunting.

I don't think our ancestors used the same type of bows. Does your brother make his own bows and arrows? I don't hunt because I think it is boring, but there is nothing wrong with hunting with a gun.

Basically all of you NRA are men with low self esteem and probably small penises, who need a way to make up for that defect and can't afford a a super large pick up truck.
