My neighbours don't have guns. No one I know has a gun. I live in a
country where guns are banned. I like it here. I think anyone who wants
to live in a country where everyone has guns is mad.

It's a bit late for that if they are shooting at you isn't it?

No one needs to have weapons to kill people at a distance. The only
reason to have them is to protect yourself from people who have them.
