Okay, so what it comes down to is that you feel your need to defend yourself with such effectiveness outweighs the threat that such weapons pose to society if in the wrong hands.
I don't own a gun, and still feel totally safe in my home, so I of course would disagree with you, but it's not on my 'hugely passionate about' list.
But I would feel a helluva lot safer if I felt that as a society, we were making a bigger effort to treat the people with the problems BEFORE they started making the 'which weapon?' decision. That is something that I obviously AM passionate about.
