A troubling article in Time magazine says that a Gallup poll indicates that “More than 60% of Americans say having a gun in the home makes them safer.” Gun control advocates just don’t understand American thinking.

The Time article provided a link to Gallup where I found these results.  Clearly I am in the minority.  No other country in the world has the high death rate from guns that we experience.

Google “gun deaths by country” and the results are overwhelming.
