Many people who get guns are not properly trained and use poor security practices in storing weapons. Unfortunately good techniques like trigger locks, separate ammo and weapon and strong large safes make quickly countering intruders less practical.
More people are killed by accidental shootings, suicides, domestic homicides by relatives than by armed burglars / home invaders, etc.
Anybody with guns and kids in same household, please take some extra precautions.
