The right to self defence and gun ownership is very nice on philosophical level but in practice it also bring a lot of problems.

Yes it does. So does any other right. Should we get rid of them all just because they cause problems?

I personally believe that for most it is the matter of owning the toys while the issue of the second amandment and freedom is just nice excuse.

You are certainly free to believe what you want. Now ask yourself the other question. How many members here who claim to own guns also claim to have ever shot anybody? Do you honestly believe I should be deprived of the only form of home defense I can use anymore because you see problems elsewhere? Yes, there is a problem. It's not caused by the gun, or by 99% of the gun owners.
