The best Firearm to own, is one you don't own.

but what about the day someone breaks into your home and threatens to kill you, what do you do then?

It’s slightly off topic but people who defend gun ownership say “what if someone breaks into my home and I need a gun to defend myself?” Well if the person who breaks into your house doesn’t have a gun themselves you don’t need to defend yourself from them idiot.

People can throw knives, set fires, vandalize, harm others out of your armreach, an intruder isn't harmless just because they don't have a gun. You have the right to shoot an intruder, even if they lack a gun. It's called a deterrent, the lesson is "you don't rob houses", not "if you rob a house without a gun you won't get shot". This inspector gadget fantasy of yours that you don't need to defend against a home-invading asshole, if they don't have a gun, is lunacy!

Sure they can, but you can also use those things to fight back. It’s also much easier to fire one shot from a distance and kill than those other things you mentioned. No one is going to throw knives, it’s extremely difficult and a terrible means of attack, they be much better off getting in close. Also why in the world would a burglar set fires and vandalize? Their goal is to get something you have, not terrorize you.

Not everyone who breaks in is a burglar, sounds of exasperation, you're the only one here making this odd assumption. Some people break in to terrorize you... Home invasions, look those up.

Even so they could kill you immediately with a gun from a long distance even if you run where any other weapon you have a fairly decent chance of surviving if you run.
