Do you own one? Will you own? If so, why? If not, why?

The topic first begins because I'm reading the Dark Tower, Book II, about the "gunslinger" Roland who is on a quest to find the Dark Tower. I implore anyone to read it as its a fantastic book by Stephen King. He's absolutely perfect with his 2 revolvers. At one point, a doorway opens to another world, OUR world, in which he views ALL people walking without any protection or weapons. Roland's line is put perfectly when he says, "What are these foolish, trusting sheep doing?" Implying people of this time are dumb because they waltz around unprotected, even if there exists some law enforcement to back it up. Though it's fiction, the idea still stands true.
Another quote...from fact.
Make parents now commonly think that guns are bad and kill people, and children should never even think about owning one. Never mind about the proven statistics that guns LOWER crime. Kennesaw, GA. proved this fact is true with their mandatory gun ownership law. (See [5] for more details.) There are also documented cases of children in communities around the country who simply draw a picture of a gun at school or on a bus. Those caught are suspended or expelled under the "zero tolerance policy" most school districts have adopted religiously, just as though God wrote it. This gives parents the illusion of "peace, quiet and security" here on the home front, to help hide the actual agenda of laying the foundations for war in the minds of children. And about guns ownership? History has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that an armed populace has prevented tyranny. This is never, ever spoken of in the press. Not even on history channels, PBS or documentaries. Hitler knew about it confiscated all the firearms in Germany just before declaring war on his own people, and then the world.
The amendment right protecting the RIGHT to bear arms exist for this reason. First, in the event of a tyrannical government. Second, because you and you alone have FIRST protection over your life. RARE is the day an officer will protect your life at the exact moment you need it. In most cases, they'll do a better job ticketing you, than protecting you. The idea to give up guns is not because they're dangerous (cars are MORE dangerous, think about that one), so that if and when any uprising was to occur, we have nothing to fight back with.
You don't want outlaws or independent standing militias (or do you), but you do need to be a person of means. Honestly, if a person was intending to kill someone, they don't need a weapon. They can bludgeon you, drive over you, or stab you with the myriad of LEGAL knives in existence. Heck, my cutcos can saw through bone or metal, so a knife is a mute point, it has range, accuracy, and speed over the knife.
-----------------------
I don't buy the idea that "this is the way the world is", because we create our own world, our own reality, our own problems and opportunities. We create the demons we try to fight. We arm them, supply them, and fund them. Then we seek to eradicate them by waging fake wars. War is an instrument of usurping wealth, nothing more. We're not fighting for ideals here, because we're the bigger, badder, dog anyways. If we were fighting for ideals, American Manufacturers during World WAR I & II would not have kept making products that our enemies used. If we were fighting for ideals, we wouldn't have created the enemies and terrorists we fight. Having these "problems" is convenient excuses to keep building war machines, to occupy new countries, to install democracy which steals power from the few and hands it to the many, to giving up our freedoms in return for ever-more protection, to make the ruling elite wealthier, and to play global chess matches with real lives.
We as the apathetic public ALLOW things to happen by NOT taking action. We'd much rather keep our ever-declining slice of land, than fight for the inches we keep losing. Like the wimp on the playground, we keep taking beatings, never learning the reason the beatings continute IS because we don't fight back. Rather, we try to run from the bully, which only fuels his desire to pummel us more because he knows it's working, and it's building his power up to the point where we may become completely defenseless.
