I'm okay with you (the reader, not necessarily Kris) haveing a gun, as long as you're not a psycho, and as long as you won't let a psycho or a kid use it.
How to decide who's a psycho, and how to enforce it is beyond me.
This is not to say I want them banned.
I like the idea of the "smart gun" that will only fire if it can read the fingerprint of the owner holding it. I don't know how feasable or practical that is, though.
I'm in favor of more regulation on the possession of guns, because the wrong people have them all too often.
