Mostly ambivalent. I've never fired or owned a gun, nor do I have any intention of doing so.

If it was a debate on gun control legislation you were wishing to start, well, it seems reasonable to me for the government to regulate the possession of devices that have the singular purpose of killing people. However, I feel that gun control laws are largely a distraction from the true causes of violent crime, which are mostly socio-economic inequities.
