I grew up in a rural area, on a small farm, so we had shotguns. I learned to handle guns at young age, and owned my own shotgun until about 24. After living in the big city for a few years, finishing college and getting a job, I realized my gun had been sitting in it's case, locked and untouched for years. It was useless to me in the city, so I sold it.
I'm fine with farmers owning rifles, and people who hunt getting permits for rifles as well.
I'm with those that think that handguns are pretty useless for anything except killing other people. There is no good reason for civilians to own handguns.
There are far too many instances of people with proper training being involved in accidental shootings. Humans are flawed. One small mistake, one moment of inattention, and someone is dead.
I've heard of very few accidental stabbings.
