Firearms are a marginally regulated commodity with an out-of proportion aura of politically volatile baggage in the USA, as illogical as that may sound to someone living in a culturally advanced country. OTOH, what happened in Denmark with Anders Brevik illustrates the hazard vs practical considerations of regulation.
I've been around them my entire life, they are useful tools as vermin control, farm and ranch stock defense, sport and survival hunting, target/pleasure activities, and if needed, personal and household defense weaponry. The mystical aura they have in some small but politically powerful groups here totally escapes me and I refuse to be associated with that.
