I am one who does not personally believe free gun ownership is good for society

Would you care to back up your feeling with some facts as to WHY you feel that way?

I have seen no data that claims that gun ownership is good for society. Hunting aside, violent crimes in countries without gun ownership is much lower. And the crap about "defending against the government" - that, to me, is just paranoid delusions.

Its a moot point - we have the Second Amendment here in the US. Therefore unfetterred access to all types of firearms should be allowed - I just personally see no need for it (unless someone can accurately make the case that we need to engage in armed revolution). However, gun control laws should not be enacted under our current Constitution. We are on the same side - just I don't think that gun ownership is some unalienable right that comes from God - sorry.
