Why do I own guns?

Because I fear my government!!!

I have guns because, it is my constitutional right to defend myself. I live 25 miles from the closest police station and 5 miles from the closest city. If someone breaks in I doubt the police would get here before the dead guy hits the floor. My boys have guns because they made the honor roll and like shooting stuff that wanders onto the property, skunks, racoons etc. My wife has a gun in case she ever suspects I'm cheating on her.

It is not a constitutional right to defend yourself. It is a human right.

Thank you for the correction, it is my right to defend myself.

Yup and the constitution secures your right to own firearms, so you can better defend yourself.
