you should already know my feelings on the drug war. I feel for this guy and I hope that something can be done for him.
this is a typical response from someone not that familiar with guns and the people that know how to handle them. That can be remedied, should you choose to actually do so. MOST gun owners react better than that. You would know this if you got to know some of them.

I actually know quite a few gun owners that carry concealed weapons with them quite often. They are very responsible people. Though in this case you have a gun in a place whose sole purpose is to get people intoxicated. You cannot reasonably make a claim that people who are drunk will act with the foresight and restraint needed when carrying a lethal weapon.
This is a moot point anyway as I don't have a problem with hand guns (unless people are intoxicated) but I do have a problem with weapons in which the control of its deadliness is severely limited (submachine guns, explosives, etc). Personally I think that any accident involving guns should not be considered an accident (hunting excluded). The second someone picks up a gun they are assuming a responsibility for whatever happens because of it.
