I own several firearms for hunting and whatnot, and I believe that guns should be harder to get, not illegal. By this, I mean that there should be more background checks when purchasing a firearm. Making guns illegal (in the U.S. anyway) won't stop all of the murders, random shootings, and armed robberies. Criminals will continue to find ways to attain weapons and guns illegally, as many of them do now. I guess it's like that saying, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Hell, here in the U.S. people are assaulted every day with knives, baseball bats, and even cars. If you apply the same principle, all of these things should be banned too, as they can be used to cause harm to a person. We just need more gun-education and safety classes to teach people not to be afraid of firearms and how not to abuse them.
