Hmm,
I can find myself in most of the things told by Sleepyjack and the people who support him in his opinion. I can't really add much that isn't already said by people but maybe this:

A gun in the hands of a wise and responsable person doesn't pose a threat to anyone so therefor I have nothing against people who can be wise and responsable at all time when carrying these guns.

However, all to often, you can read, see or experience that alot of people carrying guns do unwise and unresponsable things. Sometimes wise and responsable people get into situations where their actions are all but wise and responsable.
These situations pose a threat not only to them selves but to the people around them.

I cannot support rules & laws that make it possible for wise and responsible people to posess an all too convenient way to end someone's life in situations where their actions are all but wise and responsable.

My friends uncle Paul was always a very responsible and wise person with a normal life and a normal job. Until the day he snapped, shot his wife and then shot himself. Too bad he had that gun. But yeah ... this isn't really an explanation, nobody knows what actually happened. Maybe he was so angry that he would have done it with a baseball bat, a kitchen knive or even a newspaper (there are tons of ways and examples that non lethal objects can be used very lethal) ...
