@redenchilada Admittedly, I strongly support the right to self-defense as well, but that is often done with handguns (hopefully I will never have to resort to using it, but I do have a concealed carry permit and carry a Glock 19 around with me), as opposed to the "assault rifles" that are often targeted by anti-gun politicians (the AR-15, AK, etc. models on shelves in gun shops are semi-auto only and are therefore not genuine assault rifles).
I don't have a problem with keeping guns around the home for self-defense; my Glock 17 is outfitted with a tactical light if I ever have to defend myself in the home (using a rifle would present over-penetration problems in an apartment complex). People with children should make sure that their kids cannot easily access their firearms.
