Gun sellers have been selling the load of fetid dingo's kidneys for 50 years and the gun culture has been thoroughly indoctrinated in that and the other lies. Lies like a gun will make you just like Seal Team 6! Guns will get the girl for you! Guns are the great equalizer!

In truth all a gun in the house does is give a thief something else to steal while you're away.
