What do you think about guns?

So it was a friends 21st birthday and she was able to get a gun for self protection.So I started thinking about gun and how I would get one as soon as im legally able to. Do you own a gun for that purpose or would you ever think about getting one? Especially in the hard economic times do you feel like you need to protect yourself and your family better? If you don't have a gun for self defense why not? Just in general how do you feel about guns? Please share, thank you.
