Stop. Why bother trying to hype a situation for no other reason than to participate in the 'guns are bad'
I don’t think guns are bad. I’ve owned a rifle and shotgun. I think untrained idiots with guns are bad.
If home defense is an issue I would ask someone contemplating the purchase of a firearm:
* do you already have a chain across your driveway?
* or better, a gate across your driveway?
* do you have 4 inexpensive security cameras around your home?
* plant bougainvillea and/or razor edge bromeliads in areas scrubs might enter from the perimeter of your property?
* solar motion detector lights in walkways or parking area?
Most of those cost less than a gun, and take less time to plant/install than applying for a firearms application, background check, classes, training and practice
If you’ve done all that (above) and are still worried and can’t sleep at night, don’t forget there are unknown asteroids that could become meteors randomly and directly above your home, or a massive subsidence tsunami wave if The Big Crack breaks off on Ka’u side.
