You can complain that a "heated dispute" is heading our way, perhaps that's not such a bad thing.

I as well don't see any good in allowing someone to purchase and being allowed to wield a firearm. There are other not so deadly ways that someone can protect themselves, like with a tazer or pepper spray. In my honest opinion, I think when somebody has access to a gun, they are essentially showing their weakness through it, and proving that the only way they can control a situation is to kill someone.
