This just a few days after a 30+ person massacre at a church in Nigeria(?) and a firebombing at a pro-life facility in NY. Violence isn't gun-related. Violence is people-related. It's also not restricted by country, so let's quit pretending like the rest of the world has it right. Not saying we're perfect as a country, but America's positive qualities attract caravans of immigrants for a reason. Quit blaming inanimate objects and focus on how we can improve the people that control the objects.

I own no guns.
Statistically, you or a member of your family is more likely to be killed or injured by a gun if you own one than if you don't own one.
That's enough for me.

Statistically, should the need arise, you are virtually defenseless.

The chance anyone would have to defend themself with a gun (in a holdup or something like that) is very small. I can't think of anyone I know that had to do that.
I did have a coworker commit suicide with a gun. I did have another coworker who almost shot his son in the middle of the night. His son had forgot his keys and snuck into the house. It was a really close call.
I did have another coworker who was shot and killed by his wife. I don't know the details on that. The rumor was he was abusive to his wife, but I don't really know.
I had another coworker get loaded and stoned and go to his mother and father in laws house to pick up his daughter. They wouldn't give him his daughter (as he was drunk and stoned), and he started waving his gun around and put a few bullets in the walls or floor. Thankfully he didn't shoot anybody, but he spent over a year in jail. If his in-laws had a gun, he would probably be dead now.
By now you're thinking, what kind of place do I work at. There are a lot of people that work there, probably over 500. Anyway, guns are dangerous, beyond a doubt.
