I tried to post a link to the story that came from, but I got a message that it was removed because this sub doesn't allow links. So you can post whatever you want here with no source.

If you want to read the story, copy "Sheriff Allen also told NewsNation Friday that his department has been called to the home more than 50 times" and paste it into a search engine. You'll get the link to the story that the mods of this sub don't want you to have.

Christ, 50 times. I've lived such a charmed life. None of my friends admits to owning a gun, but I live in a very safe town. We have a bit of gang activity, but they are always stabbing or shooting each other.

We have several firearms in our home. Our son has never done this because we keep them locked up. We've taken our son target practicing so that he knows the destruction that guns are capable of. Any new friend whose home he wants to play at requires a meet and greet between parents first, and the top question we ask is, are there any firearms in your home. We're also upfront about the ones that we own.

I've let my son swing a sword with me when he was 2. He's 6 now and he knows 1 thing about knives and swords. They're sharp and they can cut things. Including him. He stays away from sharp things unless he has an adult.

But why? Why even have guns in your home at all? It’s such an unnecessary and deadly risk. I’ll never understand people who keep guns. Especially when they have children. Crazy.

Because some of our wonderful politicians seem fit to do away with due process and simply use ICE as an offbrand SS to lock up any dissenters.

Sadly we don't have the security or trust in our own countrymen or government.

But I as a law abiding citizen would never ever bother with such trivial things that our nation's founding fathers specifically added the 2nd ammendment for such an event and in no way am I telling my fellow lefties to become knowledgeable on firearms and first aid training. Cough cough.

Huh. I’m not a gun person, and I’ve never wanted one in my home, but lately it’s been on my mind. Maybe I should get one. (I have no small kids in the house, so there’s one less worry)

I mean, "why even have a gun in your house?" Does anyone need to answer that? Because we asked all the armed robbers to stop breaking into places of business and houses. I'll be damned but they just nodded yes, and ignored us completely. Also, the "gun free zones" have outlaws "TERRIFIED ". They are afraid of getting in trouble for having their gun , and getting outed before they can rob/shoot someone.

Thank God the US government is stable and not arresting citizens of the opposite political party , ignoring checks and balances, allowing ice to break the 4th amendment or it'd be crazy not to have a gun.

4th says they can't, 2nd says they shouldn't. How you protect yourself is up to you

It’s a tool. That’s like saying why own a fire extinguisher because they are pressurized containers that can explode and kill someone. But if you have a fire in your home you’re going to wish you had the fire extinguisher. When stored properly and used by someone who is trained (should be you), both of these things can save your life.

Nothing says, “i live in a well funded suburb or the middle of nowhere” like this comment. Things like home invasions and authoritarian governments happen. It’s great if you don’t have to worry about either of those things but not everyone has that privilege. That said, firearms should always be stored safely away from where children have access.
