Tired of people lecturing the USA for having a constitutional right for a law-obiding citizen to own a gun. Though I am a citizen of the USA, I can say that I have never fired nor owned a gun. But looking back on the places I've lived over all my years, I generally feel safer in the places where there is a gun culture. How is that? Well when I lived in California, a "liberal" state, my grandparents owned a lemon ranch that was routinely robbed. My uncle now owns the ranch and if you were to walk into the house, you would notice that there is loud classical music being played. In fact music is played in the house constantly in the hopes that it convinces a robber that someone is in the house and he better not rob it.

But when I moved to Montana, our house was never robbed. Not only that but I can't ever recall reading a newspaper article of anyone in town being robbed. No criminal would ever rob a house in Montana because the majority of houses own guns. It's not worth the risk for a criminal to rob a house where his life would be in real peril. And it's the same situation in the place I now live (Utah) which also has a gun culture. Even though neither myself nor my family has ever owned a gun, criminals don't know that.

So I say this to the UK readers. If you would like to live in a place where no one will ever rob your house, I'd say come to a state that has a reputation for a gun culture. The only sure thing to come from abolishing the right to own a gun is the law-abiding citizens will not have guns while the criminals still do.
