Unfortunately the idea of a world without armies and guns is pure utopia: difference, class, status and primary needs force us to confrontation, on many scales.

I agree, I don't wanna live in a society where I need to walk around with a sidearm all the time to provide for my own security, but I want to be given the freedom of bearing arms, using them for recreation, hobby, hunting (not that i'm a hunter myself, but others are) and ultimately (and hopefully never), self defence.

Sorry, but societies consist of more people then your psycho having a go at a group. And I rather risk being shot by a psycho in an unlikely event of being at the wrong time at the wrong place then having every weirdo, drug addict and wannebe criminal or even your average gun fascinated father easy access to a firearm. There simply are too many imature, irresponsible or emotional driven poeple out there. In light of this the fun for hunting or sports shooting and as harsh at that sounds, ultimately self defense, too, is a very egocentric one. That is the gist of it.

And in regards to nations, we are very qucikly reaching a point where this earth is becoming a very small and very densly populated place. Time runs out for national quarrels. Either grow up or go down.
