There is a difference in the freedom to own a weapon and the freedom to carry a concealed weapon. It could be argued that weapon owners are more likely to carry concealed weapons if ownership is legal, but even if gun ownership were illegal the people who would be dangerous with the weapon would still have access to it.

Firearms are interesting weapons. I feel they are appropriate to use in marksmanship, hunting, and as a big show to defend your home. Because when it comes down to it, the vast majority of gun owners don't have the guts to shoot someone, even if that someone is a threat.

But I'm all for regulating the hell out of those bad boys.
