Where did I say this?
"I don't think so...but then I'm not claiming I need a gun to keep people from stealing my guns...."

"Stopping private sales only at Gunshows will do little to stop criminals from obtaining firearms, because less then 1% of criminals buy firearms at Gunshows."
Yeah, surrrrrrrrrrre....and Wayne LaPierre is Queen of the Faeries...."

Bureau of Justice Statistics:
"According to the 1997 Survey of State Prison Inmates, among those possessing a gun, the source of the gun was from -

a flea market or gun show for fewer than 2%
a retail store or pawnshop for about 12%
family, friends, a street buy, or an illegal source for 80%"

"So what prevents gun owners from buying a burglar alarm or a dog or a safe?"
Nothing.
What prevents a thief from circumventing these measures??

'Tell you what....I've never seen an on-line post by a gun nut that's made me think, "By golly, THERE's someone I'd trust with a gun.....or pointy scissors."'

This is the most telling thing of all.
You have a deep seated distrust of others.
