US always needs to think black and white. Either you are free to have guns, or you cannot have any guns. This is not true at all.
I'm a gun owner in Europe. First I needed to be member of a shooting range for 6 months. Then I have to pass a theoretical and practical exam. Then the people I live with have to sign that I can own guns. Plus, I need to have a clean criminal record. To keep my guns, I need to go shooting 12 times a year, and every 4 years my doctor has to approve that I'm mentally stable to keep them. There are also very strict rules on where I keep my guns an ammo, and where I can transport them.
Do I like all the effort I have to put into this? No. Do I prefer that over giving crazy and/or incompetent people guns? Yes.
