In the past two months, there have been three gun deaths in my hometown: 2 murders and one suicide. My town is small and up until now, very safe. Everybody seems to be losing their minds. The first murder happened when a guy went to visit his friend but the friend was tripping on mushrooms and he shot his visitor to death.

15-year-old Cailin was murdered on Sunday by her stepfather
The most recent incident happened on Sunday, two blocks from me. A SWAT team was called and news crews lined the street. They were trying to get a barricaded gunman to surrender after he shot his 15-year-old stepdaughter in the back four times as she was trying to get her little brother to safety at the next-door neighbor's house. The neighbor lady also got shot in the leg. While the neighbor recovered, the teen girl sadly died the next morning at the hospital. The stepfather committed suicide sometime in the hours that followed while barricaded in his house. Below are his facebooks posts, showing how proud he was to be a fucking gun maniac.

I have never once heard of someone I know successfully protect him or herself from an intruder with their gun. All I hear are tragedies. So, do you feel safer with your gun? VOTE below.

News report of the incident...
No. It's a proven fact that a gun in the home has a FAR better chance of killing or injuring you, a family member, friend or neighbor.
Yes. Despite what the odds say, I feel safer at home with my gun or stockpile of many guns.
