Over 50% of DU members own guns. It's easy, cheap and unbalanced (like Fox) to post only stories about the improper use of a gun. There are plenty of good examples of people using defense weapons for good reason. Google "gun defense" and see for your selves but I doubt you will because it's so satisfying to play Chicken Little ..."Oh no ...people are using guns improperly."
