Would I have a gun in my own home?

Would I have a gun in my own home? My answer is yes.


First of all, let’s assume I live in a country where having guns in house is legal because it is known to all that gun allowance is not suitable in China for we have too high a density of population to control if so.

Why do people need a gun in their home? They use them to defense themselves (or to hunt, but that’s not what I’m talking about). That is to say, if a thief, a robber or even a killer enters my house, I can shoot him or force him to give in. If you want to force a man to drop his weapon and not move, it is easier to use a gun but not a knife or any other close fight weapons. And if I’m in a country where people can keep guns, the robbers or killers will mostly use a gun as their weapon; in this case, if I don’t have a gun, I’ll probably lose in the fight with the bad guys.

Another reason that people keep guns is to defense their politic rights. If the government is really bad to the people and they have to overthrow it, they will be more powerful with guns. That is to say, the government will think twice before they want to add press on its people. So, if a officer come to my home and forces me to move out of my own house in no reason, I can even point my gun at him.

For these reasons,  I would have a gun in my house.
