I actually want a gun because:
A) it's always good to be prepared. I like the idea that if someone where to ever break into my place, that I wouldn't be a sitting duck. Obama wants me to spend thousands of dollars a year for health insurance or pay a 700 dollar penalty, well I see a 300-500 dollar gun as a great life insurance purchase. Maybe I'll never need it, but the price is cheap enough for that peace of mind
B) I am a staunch believer in the second amendment and I want to do my part in being an armed citizen. I find this to be every citizens duty.
C) I think shooting target practice could be fun and a good way to relieve stress.
D) I deal with shady people semi-often and sometimes am in shady areas. It'd be good to be strapped.
