These kinds of crimes happen EVERY DAY in America. Some just get more attention than others.

Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome went out on the town for a night of fun. Instead they both were anally raped, tortured, male genitals cut off, breast cut off, large unknown object shoved up their anuses, bleach poured down their throats, shot, stabbed, and suffocated to death. They thought their neighborhood was safe.

This pretty much sums up the reason every American should have equal opportunity under the law to own and possess firearms. The Police are NOT legally required to help you in an emergency...you must protect yourself.
I hope and pray I never have to defend myself in my own home but if it comes down to it and they're kicking down the door to my bedroom looking to do anything remote to what happened to the innocents in the above stories if I die it will be defending myself. Like the member above in law enforcement said cops are always minutes away when seconds count.
The above stories are just two examples of why Americans sleep with a shotgun under the bed.
