No they aren't. In bad cases yes, but they are a method of self protection. See if you keep the same opinion when you get mugged or when someone is breaking into your house.
Thats why we have a police force
@945G4NTRepublican 3yrs3Y
Are the police with you in your home when someone breaks in? Is there normally a police officer walking with you down a dark street? No.
A firearm is a tool that allows individuals to assert a human right to protect their life, those of their loved ones, and those of strangers if they so choose.
Police forces are great assets when they can get to a scene of an emergency in time. However, there are many instances crimes unfold before a call to 911 can even be placed. Such as, after someone is hurt, after a home invasion, after an armed robbery, etc. That's no shade toward law enforcement.… Read more

So... what's your stance? Are you a republican? great thanks. !
@9TYJFHK7mos7MO
The police have no legal duty to protect the populace, let alone any specific individual.
Police officers have murdered, framed, and abused several innocent persons.
In many cities, police responses are usually slower than pizza orders.
@8TJKDF44yrs4Y
This isn’t accurate at all - Most firearms have never been used ( and never will be used) to kill.
Then what are they for
@9TYJFHK7mos7MO
In order of my guess at how common each use is:
@8YHDKJY3yrs3Y
This is blatantly untrue. Just like millions of Americans, i myself have used a gun for self protection without firing a single shot. Its a deterrent but yes its true that if you own a gun for self defense you cant be scared to use it if needed. And yes sometimes to save your own like you must take the life of someone else even when you don't want to.

How would we keep the animals at bay? Several have been killed by wild boars and others.
@B2MHJJ33mos3MO
I have never touched a gun in my life (other than a BB gun). I tend to lean mor toward gun restriction and even I would say that is just not true.
Number 1 who are you telling to stay out of this? I believe that is called night communication.
Number 2: Guns are not just used to kill. In fact there are some guns where i think it would just be easier to use my bare hands.
Number 3: Are there messes up people? Yes! Are all people messed up? No! Depending on what that statement was supposed to mean I feel like other that a few comments people have been pretty chill. There are background checks to prevent the wrong people from getting guns. They may not be a super effective solution but it is something and it does help.
Number 4: See the last part is just offensive. I was offended and I don’t even have a gun.
