The personality part is aimed at people that think having easy distribution of weapons is justified by their choice of hobby(not hunting but gun range).
You can't kill a crowd of people with a bow.
The current ownership restrictions can be used for hunting. Anyone that clearly isn't fit to use it doesn't get to. The difference is it's not sitting in someone's closet where an innocent child, angsty teenager or jealous spouse can just pull it out. If you're in the middle of a psychotic episode, the guy at the counter just won't rent it to you.
You aren't getting real responses because we've heard it all before. They are weak arguments, as if you didn't know the simple difference between a bow and a gun.
So no, it's not complex. Guns are dangerous, they are being misused. The negatives of everyone having access to them outweigh the benefits by a huge amount. Ban them.
