I think anyone who doesn't have a criminal record should have the right to own a gun, but I also think most people should consider if they really need to use that right... What I'm saying is, there are so many people, especially in the US, who own guns without really needing them for anything. And every gun, even when put away in a drawer, is a potential murder weapon, say in the case a burgler steals it and uses it later. I think the fewer guns there are in circulation, the better for everyone. Crime isn't going to be prevented by arming up against it.

Neverteheless, I do believe it is the right of any non-criminal to judge if he/she really needs a gun for either protection, hunting, or whatever cause. But automatic weapons for civilians doesn't sound right to me, whatever the circumstances...
