I have no problem with any gun ownership, legal or illegal. It is the inappropriate use of the gun that I have a problem with. If my neighbors want to own fully automatic weapons I don't care. If they want to shoot them at the range or some other safe area I don't care. If they want to shoot up the neighborhood or rob people or murder people, then I care. Gun ownership in itself is not the issue, but rather the use of said guns. Guns are not the problem, behavior is.

Also, I think that a lot of cops in the US are under-trained. This is based solely on my opinion of some of the cops I have known and observed.
