Ask Amy: My daughter lives with me and owns a gun. Can I kick her out?

Dear Amy:
This week, I discovered that my intelligent, hard-working, responsible 24-year-old daughter (who lives with me) is a gun owner! And it’s not a normal gun, either — it is a 40-caliber semi-automatic, and she has hollow-point bullets to go with it.
Amy, this is the kind of weapon a criminal would possess! She says it is for emergencies. There have only been two home invasions in our neighborhood in the last 11 years.
I’ve given her three choices: She can either give her weapon to me, sell it or move out in three weeks.
I love my daughter and would be so sad for her to move into a place that she would hardly be able to afford, but now I have to lock my bedroom door at night because I don’t know what she’s going to do.
Now she says that I don’t trust her, and is barely speaking to me. How can I convince her to stop endangering us?
Dumbfounded Father
Dear Dumbfounded:
According to my research, possessing hollow-point bullets is illegal in 11 states; is it legal in your state to own this sort of exploding ammunition?
In a report published in 2015, researchers at the University of Chicago found that 31 percent of households reported having a firearm in 2014, down from about 48 percent in 1980.
According to this study, there are more guns, but concentrated in fewer households. Why must your household be one of them?
Where did your daughter get this weapon and ammunition? Has she received any safety training or certification? (Accidental gun death is a substantial risk of owning a gun.) Is she perhaps engaged in another activity outside of your household that exposes her to increased risks and makes her believe she needs to have a weapon?
I have news for you: A locked bedroom door is no match for this weaponry; as I write this, just five days ago a father in South Carolina tragically shot and killed his own 23-year-old daughter through a closed door — when he mistook her for an intruder.
I agree with your ultimatum; I also weep that there is yet another (likely unsafe) gun owner in this country.

I can't tell who the bigger idiot is. The dad or Amy.
Know what else is a significant risk to accidental death? Driving.
Want a sure fire way to never defend yourself against home invaders? Sell your gun (or never buy one)
Criminals LOVE unarmed victims.

What a fricking cuck. Jesus. If I were his daughter and found out he felt this way, I would never speak to this f*g ever again.

The father sounds like a huge pussy, likely incapable of even fathering children.

Parent is a candy-arse.

The person asking the question HAS to be trolling!

It's his home. If he does not approve of firearms under his roof, then he is well within his right to give his daughter this ultimatum.
That being said a .40 caliber is a good weapon to protect yourself with, nice compact and can deliver a damn effective wallop

She intelligent and responsible, but in the end a dumb woman so she shouldn’t own a gun.
This father is exactly what is wrong with the pussy, boomer generation.

Agreed. I hope it's worth it to him to lose his daughter over.

Somebody should write her another letter.
"Dear Amy, my 25 year old son still lives at home. I've told him that if he wants to continue to live here, he must be able to defend himself and I've purchased a gun for him. He refuses to learn how to shoot and says that I shouldn't bring a gun into the house. What should I do? I don't want to force him to move, but if he won't learn to shoot, then I fear I'll have no other choice."

It sounds like to me that his daughter likes the BBC, and her boyfriend Ja'Vonte asked her to stash the weapon for him.
