That's fair. Guns do make it easier to kill, and you certainly don't want to be handing them out like free candy. To the best of my knowledge, buying a gun in the US involves a background check (and you can't get one if you are a convicted felon), and a waiting period before you actually get the gun. And at least in the state I live in, you have to go to a class before getting a concealed carry permit, teaching you about proper gun safety, how to use one, and things like that.

It is. I don't know that there is a clear right or wrong, because it really depends on how you see the issue. I have seen very compelling arguments for both sides.

I think a lot of my complaints about guns come not from the guns themselves, but the ideaology surrounding them.  I like guns, to be honest, but this national obsession with them is...frightening.  Canadians have the same amount of firearms per capita but it's not a national issue.  We don't fellate the weapons like it's some natural right to have them like Americans do.  

guns themselves, when used respectfully and responsibly, are great to have around, be it for defense, hunting, sport, or whatever you want them for, but obsessing over them and getting your ass in a tuff becuase some dude said we should be more restrictive with Gun licensing is...scary. It's scary, it's pathetic, and it's dangerous.
