On Facebook today I watched Jim Jeffries, (I think) an Australian (? I no longer remember) comedian do a show asking questions of Americans who have guns and "need" them for the protection of themselves and their family. He said (paraphrased) So you have your gun in your bedside table? So your kid is going to take it out, thinking it's a toy, and shoot his brother or sister! Gun Owner: No. I am a responsible gun owner. I keep my guns locked in a safe. Jeffries (paraphrased): Then you don't have them available for protection! Are you going to tell the intruder to wait a minute while "I get my gun. You chose the wrong house, mister- you'll see... Just a minute here."
