Would you have a gun in your home? Why or why not?

I’ve never asked myself that question before and I am not sure how I should deal with this issue. Usually, in Austria nobody would raise this issue since it is seen as a really sensitive topic. However, I think I would never have a gun in my home, because I don’t feel comfortable in the near of weapons. The last time when I went to Scheels and Gander Mountain with my Host Family, I was really shocked about the fact that you can buy guns in a sports store without spending a lot of time and effort. In Austria you could never imagine buying guns in a sports store and we have quite strict laws concerning gun possession. Moreover, I can’t appreciate the fact that young children are allowed to hunt here in Wisconsin, because I don’t think that children at the age of twelve really understand what they’re doing. Additionally, cruel movies desensitize children as well as adults and deform their perception of reality. Therefore, I persist in my viewpoint of not having a gun at my home and I would definitely never let my children watch violent movies on TV.
