Sport hunters, the people whose ownership of firearms is least objectionable to me, are not the 'gun problem'.

The second amendment is not about sports or hunting, though it does include those things. 

My gun(s) have never jumped out of their containers, gone off, and shot anybody. Nor have they ever been used to commit an act of violence against another person.  They have destroyed some paper and pieces of wood, but that is about it and a couple of them will likely be used this fall in the harvesting of some deer, which we too have an over population of, and when that happens I will be thankful and respectful for the blessing of the natural bounty.

I also carry firearms for defense, in part because of the "gun problem" you refer to, but the problem isn't the "gun" it is the knuckle dragger behind it that wants to use it as a means to take what they want through violent acts.
