I would like to see a source, please. Not just your opinion.

Thank you.

Yes, people do not have to use guns to attack, but if you were getting attacked by someone physically much stronger than you and bigger than you, then you have no chance in beating them, so you will end up dying or getting hurt.

Take a look at this case:

A boy named Anthony Hernandez was visiting his grandparents when he heard loud noises outside their house. He went to check on the source of the noise and saw a window in the start to move as a 18 year old guy is trying to break into the house. Anthony went to go get a gun, and warned the intruder that he was armed, But he just kept hitting the window and eventually broke through the glass then the 14-year-old shot him. The attacker put his arm out first, before Anthony shot him and he also warned him plenty of times before shooting him.

If he did not have a gun to attack back then he or his grandmother would have gotten seriously injured or died.

I do not agree with that, because many attackers don't even have guns, and you wont be able to protect yourself from them if you don't have one. It is a source of self defence that is needed to keep everyone protected.

A man went up to a store manager and asked him if the store was open. He had told him that the store was not open, then the man attacked the store owner with a box-cutter, which is very similar to a knife. The attacker cut the store owners throat, But thankfully the manager was armed with a gun and shot the guy attacking him. The store owner was treated at the scene, and the guy attacking was lying dead on the floor not too far from where it all happened.

In the case above, if they had banned guns, then the attacker would have attacked the store owner with the box cutter and killed him, and the store owner would've had no way of protecting himself.

I disagree with your comment, a dog is just like any other living thing, if it is shot with a gun, it's dead. At that point you wont have anything to defend yourself with. Guns are the most efficient way of protecting yourself, and without the use of guns it's hard to keep yourself protected. This all is an act of self defence. You cant carry a dog with you everywhere to keep you protected, many crimes happen outside of the homes as stated:

An armed citizen was walking around by the barber shop, then heard gun shots, so he went to go help out. The man in the barber shop had fired on customers and workers too, but the armed citizen happens to show up and shoot the gunman in the chest, saving many people's lives. The gunman had shot a 40 year old man, but due to the armed citizen, thankfully no one else died or even got injured.

Another point is that, people do not have to get attacked by a gun to use one back, they can get attacked by someone stronger in a more violent way and not be able to defend themselves without using a gun. A man sitting at home saw 2 men crossing in front of his back patio, then knocked on his door. This is when he decided to get hold of a gun. They had asked him to step out of the house though he refused and they ended up going into the house getting ready to attack his wife and infant. He shot them both causing one of the men to die and the other to get injured. apparently there were 2 men behind the scenes though only one was caught. Without the gun, this man would have lost his family. Using a gun saved him, his wife and baby infant. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/ 2015/05/12/man-shoots-kills-alleged-home-invader-to-save-woman-baby/

But it is an act of self defence. So you have the right to use a gun because you are protecting yourself.

I would like to see the link you get this from.

That is why people should be smart about using guns, but you can use guns if they are an act of self defence. As stated:

A man went up to a store manager and asked him if the store was open. He had told him that the store was not open, then the man attacked the store owner with a box-cutter, which is very similar to a knife. The attacker cut the store owners throat, But thankfully the manager was armed with a gun and shot the guy attacking him. The store owner was treated at the scene, and the guy attacking was lying dead on the floor not too far from where it all happened.

If someone is attacking you and you shoot them, it is called self defence which is pardonable by law. That means that the law allows it and you were defending yourself form a criminal.

As stated:

A drunk father assaulted his own mother during an argument. Then he argued and fought with his son, and other family members too. He was asked to leave the home, but he continued to make threats from outside of the home. Then the father had went into the car to get a weapon to point on them, but his son had a rifle which he shot the father with, on the knee. It was the only thing he could do, and it was an act of self defence.

The third point is that gun help people feel safe. Even if the gun is not used, it helps the person feel like they are protected, it also makes the attacker back off. For example: A woman had been held hostage “for more than 20 hours” in her own home, and only got the chance to go outside where she could be seen because she was trying to escape. The man next door saw his female neighbour being beaten and got involved by taking out his gun and holding the attacker in place until the police arrived.

First of all, the attacker does not have to be a person attacking with a gun, it could be a person much stronger or bigger than you, that you have no chance against. You need to protect yourself so you have no choice but to use a gun. Take a look at this: A man violently forced his way into a, home in Kentucky. He got very physical with the owner, and was then shot to death by that same homeowner who was armed with a gun.

He would've been dead or seriously injured if he hadn't attacked the attacker with a gun.
