A perfect example is that guy who killed the kids for throwing eggs at his car.

If it was more difficult to obtain weapons, would he have one?

Carrying a personal weapon seems stupid: to me.

This is a tough issue. I'm not exactly sure where I stand. I plan on purchasing a couple rifles. I use all types of weapons in the Army regularly.

There also seems to be two different issues: protection and hunting.

Hunting is no prob. There are actually 5 different rifles and 2 shotguns in my house right now. In addition to that an old 6 shooter that has been passed down for a while.

Guns for responsible people = yes.

guns for people who will snap at kids throwing eggs = no.

i;m not sure how you can screen for that and how "constitutional" that is to deny someone a firearm.
