Is this a trick question? However, as it may be genuine, I will repeat what I've said before in similar discussions about the American beliefs on owning firearms (or any other country).
If there are laws permitting "everyone" to own firearms, I absolutely agree with Smiley's comments. I also believe there should also be laws about the security of those weapons. Firearms shouldn't be left on a rack or under the bed or in a place where they are easily accessible to anyone and, I can hear you groaning already, every bullet fired should be accountable. Sure there will be the criminals who will use weapons illegally just like they do everywhere else, but if the general, law abiding population want to have firearms they should be responsible and have them secured so that nobody else can easily use them.
I would hope that all those hunters who just loving killing deer and other animals for the thrill of the chase (and I don't include the farmers who use a firearm to protect their stock from a predator), are also responsible users and keep their firearms under lock and key when not out hunting. Whether I would want them protecting my country, I am not sure about that at all.
