I cant understand why people need guns.

what i am saying is that if i choose to keep a gun in my home just in case someone decides to break-in and harm my family, i will keep a gun. furthermore, if that someone does break into my home, he (or she) better be a quicker draw than i am.

By the way, I am all for public not having guns as soon as the police in New York City give up theirs. Because they can shoot someone in the back 20 times and get away with it, so when they are shooting someone just because s/he reached for a wallet. Maybe (just maybe) a memeber of the witnessing public can reach for his/er gun in the defense of a fellow member of the public.

one of the recent police shootings that got a lot of media attention was with a known criminal... the guy had around 12 or 15 previous arrests. of course, the media "forgot" to mention that part of it.
the cops that shot him knew who he was and that he had a record... they were treating the suspect like a dangerous criminal (one of his arrests was for armed robbery) and proceeding with caution. the guy made a move to his pocket, or his back, and the cops shot.

I think that the question was stupid and the answer was not stupid. The female interviewer should have been more responsible in asking question with a General and also shouldn't jump to conclusion immediately(Just go through the interview).
