Very bad. Guns should be totally illegal for anything other than hunting purposes, and a license must be otained that requires a background check and a psychological assesment.

Think of the horiffic number of gun crimes in America. Think of how many kids have died, how many family members have accidentally being shot, how many innocent people have died. Even the guilty people shouldn't be given the power to kill eachother.

Now think of somewhere like the UK, where guns are illegal except for hunting purposes. Practically inconsequential death rate from gun crimes; maybe one per month. It's still not the perfect system (you can still get your hands on guns) but it's a hell of a lot better than in America.

So you want the freedom to have a gun. It's your right. But is any freedom worth such a massive loss of innocent life? For me, the answer is pretty obvious.
