The only gun I ever fired was at a gun range. It was a 9 mm Beretta. That was a trip. Fun!
The power of it was cool. Silver, you should try it. It costs like 9 bucks to rent the gun plus bullets. Everyone should fire a gun at least once; just to experience it.
I don't own a gun, though. I'm not so paranoid about life to think I need a gun under my pillow. And I lived in downtown Detroit for 4 years!
I had a baseball bat in my apartment. Never needed that either.
FBI statistics state that less than .05% of people come into contact with any kind of violence in a year. That isn't even gun violence, but any violence. The media has us thinking we're all going to face brulatalily at any given moment. It's bullshit.
