Actually owning a gun is a PRIVILEDGE.

If it were a RIGHT, felons and children would be allowed to own them.

Hmmm, ".... The RIGHT of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed". vs. "... The privilege of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed".

Now, to your second point, with rights do come responsibilities. However,
it seems that most of the responsibilities for those who make use of the
second amendment are kept to a much higher standard than the
responsibilities of those who exercise their first amendment rights.
