I'm pretty sure many of those card carrying NRA members would love for you to show up on their doorstep to take possession of their firearms and survival stash...
It's only anecdotal, but the one thief that I knew loved handguns as they are small, have real value, and are easy to sell.
The fact that no one is going to go into a house to steal stuff if they think someone is there to protect it pairs just fine with the fact that often folks aren't home.
Total firearm homicides: 8,454
Handgun homicides: 5,782
Rifles, Shotguns, other: ~700
Which, with other stats, goes to show IMO, that "Assault Weapon Bans" are more grandstanding than anything else.
