I can certainly see your point, Yola. But also there are other reasons to keep guns than just for the criminals...just like the skunk I mentioned above, and we also have coyotes and alot of other wild animals around here who can get rabies and might need to be put down. Also we have bobcats here, and if one of them was ever attacking one of my pets or my child, or was rabid, I wouldn't hesitate to have hubby kill it.
