If someone broke into my house, I would definitely want a gun to protect myself

In times like this, the police response time while good most likely isn't going to be fast enough and i'm not going to be intimidated in my own house. even with the freeze on handguns now, there are still shootings that happen with handguns. In years 2021-2022, 890 firearms were seized at the Canada border. That's only the ones they caught. The actual number of illegal firearms making it through the border would be way higher than that. By taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, it will just take away the ability for them to protect themselves which would inevitably lead to an increase in crime like we are currently seeing.
