I'd go further and say that anyone who feels they *need* to keep a gun because it makes them *safer* or *stronger* or *superior* in some way, has a psychological problem anyway, and is probably the least suitable person to be allowed one. And there seem to be a lot of them around in the US.

(Farmers are excepted from this, of course).

I've never had a gun, never will have one. I feel perfectly safe.
