The basic reason for our 2nd amendment in the US is to protect ourselves against a tyrannical government. As such, any effort to limit that right is tyrannical.

Anyone with no violent felonies should be able to own all the guns they want, including machine guns. There should be no laws requiring registration, which is useless in finding criminals, or safety locks (if you want one buy one), limiting where you can carry guns, or limiting gun purchases or ownership.

Limiting ownership is the same as limiting the amount of books you can own.

Why? It is our right. Free people should have no need to prove that they 'need' to exercise a right, nor should the government have any control over it.

As it happens, criminals tend to ignore all these laws, making them totally useless except for disarming the law-abiding.

As soon as you bring a firearm home, the odds are that it will be used on you by a child or enraged wife; much more likely than the bedroom door/predator scenario.
Um, maybe in your home, but not on average in the US.
