I'm not a "gun nut" whatever that is, but I do own a couple of pistols for self defense.....one at home and one at the shop. I was happy to see that the Supreme Court overturned that stupid law that DC has had in effect where you couldn't even have a gun in your own home.

Would it be a safer world if every single gun were eliminated? I doubt it. People still stab each other every day, and find other ways to harm others. Plus, the old adage "if they make guns illegal only the criminals will be armed" is absolutely true. Just a few nights ago I was watching TV and heard 6 rapid shots outside. Dan was sleeping and came running out asking what that was, by then I was on the phone to 911. About 10 cop cars show up, and in the end no one was arrested because of conflicting stories among the perps. The cops told our security guard that unless they have someone hit or dead all they could have gotten them for was discharging a weapon in public!

That is why I keep a loaded pistol next to my bed, and will continue to do so the rest of my life.
