Me personally, I'm pretty much all for gun control. We have fairly strict rules regarding guns over hear, requiring lisences and permits etc. I'm just not comfortable with the idea that other places have, that if you simply want to own a gun, you can, and it doesn't really matter who you are. Guns are a powerful tool, and they give the people who are holding them, a whole lotta power they might not have had before.
And like KovuTN was saying about people requiring training, I certainly wouldn't trust myself with a gun. I trust myself enough not to be stupid and wave it around the place, but I really have no idea how to handle a gun, emotionally as well. But that's just me. I guess it all depends on the person.
