Like some of you, I also have mixed feelings when it comes to gun control. As a homeowner I have a right to defend myself from anyone breaking into my residence. That's why I believe the Supreme Court should strike down The District of Columbia's ridiculous ban on citizens owning guns. If someone breaks into my home, they will encounter an alarm system that alerts the police. But if I hear someone trying to burglurize my home, and they get in before the cops arrive, they will face my gun.

However, I don't think citizens should be allowed to carry guns in public. Yes I know that if the folks on VA. Tech campus had been armed, lives could've been saved. But do we really want faculty and students on a college campus carrying loaded guns? Imagine if a professor gives a student a failing grade, would you want to see a gun battle in a classroom? Or two people get involved in a car accident, and one of them pulls out a piece? Or someone cuts someone off in a car, and one of them pulls out a rod? Road rage is a dangerous situation enough without adding guns to the mix. In a civilized society do we want to return to having gun battles in the streets? This is not the wild, wild west.

Yes I know guns don't cause crime, people do. To sum it up, yes I think people have a right to protect themselves and property from break-ins, but carrying guns in public, no!
