But...
There is no danger, at least no more from my friends who are muslims, or black, or protestants. Here, I have more risks of being run over by a car, die from a heart attack, or even be struck by thunder. So what's the use of having a gun?
Most of the time, my door isn't locked, even when I'm away, and for nearly 30 years, I've never been attacked by ISIS, or robbed by gypsies, or caught in a crossfire of gangs setting scores, though in some places, "globalization" has imported a "bling-bling" culture, the love of money by all means.
We don't need guns here, there's a police force and an army too, and honest peaceful citizens don't need to have the paraphenelia of a "superhero" with a big... gun.
Here, knives are meant to cut the bread you share with friends, or with the stranger you meet on the road.
It's as simple as that.
But I like your humour: displaying knives and guns that are designed to kill people on a statue of the Buddha, I really like the distance you are taking with what could appear like gross and irrelevant.
I'm 61, and I had a very good friend at primary school but we lost track of each other. I heard about him again a few years ago: he was a police officer, and one of his sons killed his brother while "playing". My friend always removed the charger, but he must have forgotten to check if ther was still a bullet in the gun.
Once in thousands of days.
This is horrible, but what if my friend didn't have to have a gun as a law-enforcement officer ?
Now we can continue on to the next couple of points.
You Said: "But I like your humour: displaying knives and guns that are designed to kill people on a statue of the Buddha, I really like the distance you are taking with what could appear like gross and irrelevant."
My Response: First of all, the knives I "displayed" are not designed to kill, their designed to cut! Pure blatant ignorance on your part to suggest such a thing! Secondly, the incorporating of a Buddha statue into a pic of knives and guns ACCURATELY suggests that there is NO PEACE WITHOUT WAR! Disagree? Prove it to me with historical evidence! Fact is, there is no, never has been, and never will be peace without war! I'm not 61 but I am 40 and both my wife and I have escaped life threatening situations because of having the means to defend ourselves when we needed it most. Here is a historical facts for you to chew on
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are "citizens". Without them, we are "subjects".
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, please spread this antigun-control message to all of your friends.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
IT'S A NO BRAINER!
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
Spread the word everywhere you can that you are a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
It's time to speak loud before they try to silence and disarm us.
You're not imagining it, history shows that governments always manipulate tragedies to attempt to disarm the people.
