A dog is only your first line of defense, and even then only as an alarm system.

Dogs are easily poisoned or shot as many an overzealous Cop or desperate crook has proven.

The locks on your doors and windows, as well as your home alarm system, is your second line of defense.

But criminals learned long ago how to get past those.

You are your third line of defense. You will be what stands between harm and your family.

It's your choice how the LEOs end up writing their incident report ... what sort of statistic you choose to be.

A firearm is both a tool and insurance. It can both feed and protect your loved ones and you when no one else will. History has proven that over and over again.

We're not the most well-armed society in the world, just the largest. Israel is the most well armed ... ask yourself why, then realize that it is coming here eventually.

The first step to a dictatorship is always disarming the citizenry. Our forefathers warned us against letting it happen. We'd be absolute fools to allow it to happen.

And oh, BTW, our military and most of our LEOs would never allow it to happen. Only the UN could even try and foreign troops would be massacred in this country if they were to try and our leadership that allowed it ... they would not like what would happen to them.

Look at it this way.

Since Obango was elected there hve been enough guns and ammo sold to private citizens in this country ... to outfit the five largest armies in the world. Think about that. Fifty*five million firearms and seven billion rounds of ammo sold to private citizens in this country in the last six years. That's not counting all the FTF transactions nor the guns that were already owned by us prior to 2008.

Yea cool. All I'm saying is that as far as home security goes I'd rather buy a dog than a firearm. It's about low hanging fruit. Someone determined to do bad things won't be deterred by my dog or my firearm. The average crook casing homes is likely to notice my GSD and pick another house because it's simply not worth the effort. For me to get a similar effect with a firearm I'd have to sit outside with it 24/7 and that's not going to happen.

The rest of your post is going down a line I don't want to follow. I'm not anti-gun and I'm not saying that people shouldn't own them, I'm just saying I personally don't chose to maintain private firearms for everyday self/home defense. I don't feel the need.
