Dems feel otherwise, in their eyes criminals are the only ones who should have firearms.

Via Washington Examiner:

By a margin of slightly more than two-to-one, Americans overall would feel safer with a gun in their house than not, but less than a quarter of Democrats agree, according to a new survey.

Pollster YouGov found that 42 percent would feel safer with a gun in the home. Just 20 percent would feel “less safe.” Some 31 percent said they would feel “about the same.”

The comfort level Americans have with guns was highlighted in another poll question about the “appropriate” age at which children should start shooting.

While those polled said they started shooting at a mean age of 16, they said that the “appropriate age for someone to fire a handgun, shotgun or rifle for the first time” is a mean age of 9 years old, when children are in the fourth or fifth grade.
