Let me be the first to be tossed from the forum. Owning a firearm ain't a privilege. It is an inherent natural and civil right. Predating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that protect that right. It's called Liberty. If you don't like it move your fearful ass to some gun control Utopia like the UK.
The UK has banned guns, hell, they've even banned self-defence. Now there is movement to ban knives.
LOOK IT UP!
The statement IS true, guns don't kill people, people do. Yes it was mentioned quickly. It was less quick than the choice of gun control proponents to dance in the blood of the victims.
If you wish to not be victim, then you need to choose to not cower in a corner and pray to whatever god you believe in that you aren't found by the killer.
See what I did there? The gun can't find you all by itself!
Edit: If you don't want to own a gun, fine. If you think that guns are evil, get over it. Guns provide. Protection, food, and security.
