Reply #36: Owning guns is the highest form of responsibility that one can have in this society [View All]

and you have deemed yourself to be unable to handle that responsibility. We don't allow children, the insane or criminals to handle guns for a reason. I feel that you should be able to make that choice if you personally feel you should not own a gun.

It is easy to kill with a gun; therefore, to own a gun and remain law abiding and non-violent shows that the individual is emotionally advanced and mature enough to keep a dangerous weapon within reach and not to use it against anyone. Any nation that bans guns or heavily regulates them also expresses their view that their population are barbaric and primitive to the point where they can't be trusted to be in possession of a firearm.
