But there's not a huge difference.
Criminals know right from wrong, they just have issues controlling their impulses.

Will power is a limited thing. Once you use it up, impulses take over.
The only difference is. You have a greater reserve of will power to draw from.

If your wife and son died, your house and all your money were taken, and now you've got an officer in your face threatening you..

When you're reduced to the same impulsive state as a criminal.
You think your training and licensing are going to stop you from snapping? O_o?

Not everyone respects guns or their inherent danger as much as you.

So in a state like Arizona, where all it takes to legally own a gun is:
1.being of age 2. not being considered a "prohibited possessor"

Do you sincerely feel those requirements are enough to instill "a greater respect for the 'capabilities' of, and the 'consequences' resulting from irresponsible use of guns." in everyone?

No, of course not.

So obtaining and cherishing (wtf?) a gun legally doesn't mean shit. The owner can still be a fuckhead.

Lastly, WTF?! Guns aren't inherently violent? They're just tools?!

In the same way a katana or a nuclear bomb aren't inherently violent? Right?
They're just tools.

Tools meant for MURDERING people!

Guns, swords and bombs weren't invented for sport.
They were invented to make killing easier.

So tell me Buck. Besides practicing murdering things from a distance,actually murdering things from a distance and signaling the start of a foot race..

Can you list the oh-so-many uses of a gun/guns?

Better a take down that leaves the perp a little bloody than have to get in a foot race that might leave one of those jelly bellies winded.
