Also, I get confused with all the comments about how guns are so dangerous, but then never seem to be able to work for the intended victim when they need them. I've come to the conclusion that the only way to learn how to operate a gun is to go to prison or a mental hospital since those seem to be the only groups that know how to easily operate guns.

I used to have fire extinguishers in my cars and home and barn, but a friend of mine had his car burn up all the while he was struggling to pull the pin and work the level on the fire extinguisher. I've since come to see their complete lack of 100 percent effectiveness and have sold them all off.

On the serious side, not everyone should have a gun as in many cases you'll be more likely to cause more harm than good to your situation. As Spiderman's uncle said "with great power comes great responsibility". Then again, swords ain't exactly butter knives, but I admit that nobody ever got stabbed by a sword they thought was unloaded.
