The two options are as follows:
Control guns more tightly and risk denying them to those that sorely need them, or
Control guns more loosely and risk giving them to people who will use them for ill.
While I loathe guns and personally, emotionally, non-rationally want them to be completely controlled in every way...
I have to go with the second one. I believe in always picking the freedom over the control. Just as I'd rather a thousand criminals go free than one innocent be put in prison, I'd rather a thousand criminals buy guns than one person in need of one be denied it.
...Okay maybe thats a little extreme, if it was a thousand-to-one ratio I might be in stronger favor of control, but its more the opposite, isn't it?
