Uh, most of the people you see recently buying up guns are taking them 
to political rallies, arguing that they should be allowed to pack them 
on trains with them, and complaining that they can't take them into the 
local bar. I.e., nut cases. The ones buying them for their houses... are 
just imho, confused about the reality of the danger, which is a) most 
people that get shot in houses by guns are not criminals, and b) if 
people that break into houses all know than 90% of the people they 
encounter in them will be armed they will do what? Probably shoot first, 
then rob you. The best thing to do if some armed wacko breaks in is to 
stop being there, not confront the asshole. But, logic doesn't work with 
people "defending" their homes.
