I happen to own a gun (shot gun), so this is an interesting topic. In 1999 statistics showed that a child was far more likely to die drowning in the bath or a large bucket instead of an accidental shooting. I don't mean minimize any accidental injuries or people hurt/killed by criminals, but risks are part of freedoms package. I read that home invasions rose dramaticaly in Australia too. Politicians can pass all the gun laws they want. Only the law abiding citizen will obey them, that fact is an element of opportunity for criminals.
