There's been research that show that owning a gun is rarely of any use in defending yourself or your property because most people don't carry a weapon in the house and if an armed home invasion takes place there's no time to get your weapon. I find it hard to fathom the logic.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-33385036051580698542017-10-03T22:16:25.644-04:002017-10-03T22:16:25.644-04:00I doubt somehow that gun restrictions of the sort ...I doubt somehow that gun restrictions of the sort with which we are familiar will ever happen in the States. <br /><br />I agree.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-58213873289557632122017-10-03T17:18:40.039-04:002017-10-03T17:18:40.039-04:00It is so very sad and I wonder what it will take b...It is so very sad and I wonder what it will take before these NRA nuts see the light. I don't think they ever will and yes, I know Charlton Heston was right in there. I would make sure that there would be security devices in all hotels so no one can bring in all these guns!

A friend wouldn't come to visit us in Canada because he had to leave his gun behind.
