Here is why we have firearms in our home, why my wife and I have conceal carry licenses, why gun free zones aid and abet the criminals and why you should be focusing on crime control, mental health issues and not gun control:

No amount of gun legislation will stop a thug from gaining entrance to a home and terrorize those inside. I refuse to become a victim just like you refuse to be a victim by having armed security guards a few feet away from you. If you have a right to defend yourself then why can't I defend myself and my family----our government clearly cannot protect individual citizens and your solution is to put handcuffs on the law-abiding to weaken them in the eyes of the ever present predators.
Self defense has been a fundamental human right since the origins of civilization. Our founding fathers codified this right in the Second Amendment and quite frankly they thought more of our rights than you. Please don't forget the SA is just that---A Right---not a privilege.
When the SA was put into writing, our Founding Fathers wanted the good guys to have access to the same weapons as the the bad guys. We need to keep that balance today, the law abiding still need access to the same weapons that the thugs and mentally deranged will use against us.
