Look up gun *defense* statistics. There are millions of gun defense actions in the U.S. every year....
I am okay with the fact that a few unnecessary deaths may occur as a result of citizens owning guns, just like I'm okay with the fact that traffic deaths occur as a result of people being able to travel freely in their own cars.
There's an inherent risk to living freely.

Ah yes, yet another genius example from Mikey. So you'd be fine with heavy regulation and licensing requirements in order to legally own and operate a firearm then I take it? That's how people are allowed to 'travel freely' in vehicles.
