I have owned 'Guns' in the past, in a wierd & violent previous life, but never used one on another human being.
From a person who purely loved to have Handguns and rifles, I believe there is no need for anyone to own such an object unless they are a fully trained and registered member of a Gun Club.
As for farmers, yes there is a definite need for firearms, but there are cases of farmers cracking their nutshell and blowing away their families or neighbour, or a fued with a rival landowner.
It's not an easy decision to come to in the country as to who can and who cannot own firearms. The city is different! City people have no need of them.
All I can say is that I am glad I got rid of all my firearms over 10 years ago.
