Automobiles are a necessary part of modern life. Very few people can conduct their daily lives without the use of an automobile for transportation. The primary purpose of the automobile is transportation.
Guns are not a necessary part of modern life. Many people live just fine without them. They serve no larger or necessary purpose. They exist only to fire lead projectiles into a target, which unfortunately, all too often turns out to be other people's bodies.
Armed homeowner saves Christmas for his family, WBNS, Columbus, Ohio 12/24/15

Early on the morning of Christmas Eve, Jason Klein and his family were asleep in their Newark, Ohio home, when Klein was awakened by a suspicious noise. Klein retrieved a .40-caliber handgun and went over to a sliding door in his bedroom that goes out onto a deck in order to investigate. When Klein opened the door he came upon a burglar attempting to break into the house. Klein held the would-be thief at gun-point until police could arrive.
Speaking with a local news outlet, Klein shared his thoughts that the burglar may have been after the Christmas presents for the six children and two grandchildren in their family that were placed under a well-lit Christmas tree. Klein went on to tell reporters, “I think the guy was either going to try to steal something or come in and hurt my family… Maybe he won't rob somebody else next time.” (WBNS, Columbus, Ohio 12/24/15)

We must have the clarity of vision to see the difference between what is essential and what is merely desirable, and then the courage to bring our government back under control and make it acceptable to the people. - Ronald Reagan, 1980 Nomination Acceptance Speech
