So you buy a gun to 'protect' yourself from criminals with guns they stole from houses just like yours.

it's idiotic.
I'll grant you Grimm, that many guns are stolen from homeowners foolish enough to not keep their guns locked up in a safe worthy of the name (I have one -- it cost more than my freakin' car but was well worth the buy) when they're not being used.

Personally I feel that people ought to be required to buy a good gun safe if they buy/own a gun. It's just a nice bit of extra protection, especially if you have kids or pets. Plus, most of the good ones are fire-rated for at least an hour or two, so they're great places to store paperwork and other valuables.
