I'm not black or white on this issue; I'm not American and I don't live under that thing called the Second Amendment.
Instead, I see a lot of shades of grey - arcane policy questions about the degree and method of regulation. Even when I was at school a few years back (in my country where guns are "banned") the rifle club guys could still carry weapons across the grounds from the vault to the range without the whole nation engaging in emotive cultural warfare.
Having said all that, I've fired a .22 living in a democracy and an M16 while on holidays in an authoritarian country. They were interesting tools to use but I didn't get all emotional. I'm just barely anti-gun. Hey, I'm a gun "agnostic".
