How has it protected you, if I may ask? Do you have it locked up?Full disclosure. I like handguns (semi auto pistols) and I like being protected from criminals.

I don't have a pistol yet. Started the training many years ago but unfortunate personal circumstances forced my funds to be directed elsewhere (handgun ownership is not cheap). It's still on my list of things to do.How has it protected you, if I may ask? Do you have it locked up?
There was but not as much as you might believe. I won't post on it anymore either.Getting a bit off topic, but I suspect that religious organisations (namely the Southern Baptists and affiliates) probably played a large role in getting Prohibition passed. The sorts that have convinced themselves that all the references to wine in the Bible actually mean non-alcoholic grape juice.
"So if we are able to reduce the number of AR-15s available, in favour of the 9mmm handguns, we'll be able to identify the children's bodies much easier at the next school shooting."
I can see justification in owning a handgun for self-defence. But assault rifles have no place outside of the army. The only exception I can see is if you live in a remote region where predators like bears are a genuine threat."So if we are able to reduce the number of AR-15s available, in favour of the 9mmm handguns, we'll be able to identify the children's bodies much easier at the next school shooting."
What do you think Bookie Assassins should be armed with?I can see justification in owning a handgun for self-defence. But assault rifles have no place outside of the army. The only exception I can see is if you live in a remote region where predators like bears are a genuine threat.
Lots of cricket ballsWhat do you think Bookie Assassins should be armed with?
The can be used for hunting and sport shooting. They can also be carried for self defence in many states. I don't know the requirements to store them at home but certainly some Americans I know have stated they would be able to use them during a home invasion (no idea of the truth/legality to that). Finally, they are often well-engineered extremely high quality mechanical items that are in and of themselves desirable and collectable to some.I get that Americans LOVE LOVE LOVE their guns - but I don't get why. Legally they can't be used for anything except hunting, and a great many gun owners don't hunt. So how do they get to use these beloved possessions (apart from suicide and accidents)? What justifies their place in households that are never under threat and likely never will be? And if in the unlikely event that an innocent household is broken into, how long will it take the owner to find the key, get out the gun, load it, and... Or is America a far more dangerous place than even the rest of the world thinks it is?

Do they even have to legally have their guns in USA locked away as we do in Australia?Highly unlikely all of them are kept under lock and key. Most gun owners probably have an easily accessible unloaded gun and separate magazine/ammo. A home invasion can come out of nowhere so you would need to be able to access it in an instant.
No, but it might depend on state or local laws. Some areas might require it.Do they even have to legally have their guns in USA locked away as we do in Australia?
I should add that Texas recently passed a new law that allows open carry without a license. So I'm sure the gun racks in the back window of pickup trucks will get filled up.No, but it might depend on state or local laws. Some areas might require it.
