I'll have to disagree here.  Living in the country is not a panacea, and police response times are long and tenuous.  So having a firearm in the house isn't unreasonable.  What is unreasonable is the reverse situation, where those rural folks demand that urban folks should not be allowed to limit gun ownership in any way, because it may effect them ever so slightly.  

If we can get to universal background checks and, eventually, licensing, registration and mandatory liability insurance, that may be enough. Good luck on that!
