If someone was harming my family, I'll do everything in my power to make sure that person doesn't do it again. If they kill someone in my family while I'm there, you bet your ass they are dead. I'm not even joking about that. Not a joke. I guess you never felt "the rage" when someone jackass is purposely screwing around with the people you love. With your own children, it's even worse.
As for guns, most of what you stated is reasonable, but there is this lie going around that all these people in America have military weapons. They don't. The weapons we see in most movies and video games aren't owned by a lot of people in America. The first problem with these weapons is they are EXPENSIVE. 2nd, you're not going into a Walmart and mom & pop gun store and walk out with them. These weapons aren't openly sold. Which makes them EXPENSIVE. There are guns that have been modified to look like them though. They are usually semi-automatic. The real military weapons are most likely sold illegally outside of the military. And I'm sure the CIA is involved. Also, there are plenty of people that hunt for food and there are people that just want to collect guns. Shotguns aren't like they are in the movies. There's pumping and loading involved. The person getting shot has to be at the right distance to do crazy damage. A person too far can get away with a maybe a couple bucks in them. Some shotguns do less damage if the person is too close.
As long as they're not breaking any laws, I don't care what they do with their guns. I'm not afraid of guns.
