So hard to say. I don't like guns. At the same time I have owned a .410 shotgun since I was around 8 years old. I imagine I could do without it, but it is convenient when I start seeing too many snakes on a regular basis in the water near my house. Then I can go pick up a box of shells, clear things out some and then let nature resume. If someone were to tell me I could not own my .410, I would keep it anyway.
To me, the real dangerous weapon is a person with the intent to kill. That is what matters. If a person has the intent to kill, that person is the weapon it doesnt matter what other instruments he uses. In some cases a gunshot is one hell of a warning. Imagine if that guy Holmes had used 2 knives in the movie theater instead of a gun. If you are sitting in a dark theater with 2 razor sharp knives, how many people could you kill, injure, maim? You could probably slit 2 or 3 throats before anyone even realizes there is something happening, then you get in 4-5 more stabs before people start screaming and rushing out. You get a few more stabs as the people pile up on each other.
