Responsible gun owners who don't think they're John McLane or Harry Callahan are also not the issue. The issue is gun accessibility by people who shouldn't have access to guns.
I don't have a problem with gun ownership. I have a problem with some of the philosophies about gun ownership.

Made all the more apparent by the -rise- in gun crime, gun injury, and gun death in Stand Your Ground states. Nutball ideology would have us believe that this is a deterrant, and a needed deterrent. All evidence to the contrary.
If a person has legitimate reason to fear being shot (which, despite how our raw stats might look in a vacuum, we don't) then what they need are less guns and less people who want to use them and less laws that empower those nuts. Not more.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
