I want to know who owns a gun here, who doesn't own a gun, and who will one day own a gun. The more important question, though, is [i]why[/i].
If you own a gun, is it because you can, even though you don't really need it? Or is it because you use it for hunting, or for defense?
If you don't, is it because you don't feel like it, or because you actively oppose guns?
If you don't own a gun because you are underage, do you intend to acquire a gun when you become an adult? Why or why not?
Or to you have a more specific reason?
If you have a strong feeling towards guns, say why. If you do, I won't argue, even if I disagree. But if you express a strong opinion without giving facts or personal experiences to back it up, I will argue violently.
EDIT: option two should say "a dangerous area"
The underaged option should finish "grown up"
SECONDARY EDIT: I'm impressed by the legit responses and lack of argument. My faith in humanity is somewhat restored.

I own a couple guns, but not hand guns. I grew up in the country and shooting vermin or wild strays was just what we did. None of them have been fired in years, for I no longer live in an area where I can just target shoot, and have no need of eliminating undesirable animals. I never plan on having any for personal defense. I don't live in fear of what could happen if. The last thing I would want to have is someone else's death be on my hands, even if they were invading my home for theft. It's just stuff, it can be replaced. If they were there to harm me or my sons, the guns would be of no use anyhow, for they are stored and not loaded. I would like to target shoot again, but it just would be too costly of a hobby, and inconvenient.
