I wonder if most people own guns because they just like guns rather than for real concerns of defense. They like to shoot, sport, showing up the guns, feeling powerful, or it’s a hobby kind of thing? That’s fine. Incidentally, others shoot people in one, two, three, sometimes more at a time. But that’s something else.
People can find reasons to keep doing anything they want a lot. Rationalize it, justify it and go ahead. Common sense people just see thru all those rationalizations.
