"becaus e unless you're a paranoid shut-in who can feel disturbances in the force, that gun is worthless to protect you or your property when you are asleep or not home."
That's why Americans like dogs so much. They let us know when intruders are approaching, or on our property. My family has never not had a dog in my life. Never has someone came up to the house, or gotten very close to it without my dog letting me know well in advance.

That's because the media just chooses to air those stories. You can ascribe a variety of reasons to this... maybe they 'sell' better, maybe they attract more attention, or maybe the media is just anti-gun. Who knows?
A relevent question to ask would be, why does the media not typically report the over 2,000,000/yr defensive uses of firearms in the USA? (Clinton's Justice Dpt. Figures)
