It's horrible to live in places that you need to worry about home invasions. I won't be able to fight them off with or without guns

Agree! I'm so glad that I don't live in US anymore

Legal gun ownership saves lives & prevents crime. A gun is an equalizer, giving the legal gun owner (including women) an advantage a home invader.

The other side of the coin is that the mere presence of guns makes the probability of the outcome of a violent situation much deadlier.
