Why do people become anti-firearm?

This is due to the fact that a select group of individuals have show the wrong image of what a firearm is used for. They have done this by allowing their kids who do not practice proper firearm safety to have access to them and in some cases they have lead to the unfortunate events of school shootings. Our image has also been tarnished from people who into public places and talk about all the firearms they own and how they can do all this stuff with them and no one can do a thing about it. I hate to burst your bubble people but people can do something about it and they are. If you keep tarnishing the image of a responsible firearm owner the government will find a way to take away our second amendment right, the right to own a firearm, and you will lose all your firearms and you won't be able to do a thing about it.

How do we keep irresponsible people from owning firearms?

There are many ways that we can accomplish this. One of them being by not allowing people that have violent tendencies from owning firearms, the way the government is going about it (making everyone go through an extensive back round check (I do not agree with this)), or by spreading the word about firearm safety and making sure that no one that who will harm others is able to attain a firearm.

What is a firearm?
A firearm is a tool used to protect your home, hunt animals for food and recreation, and a way to bring people together with a common interest. These are tools that will NOT harm a person unless it is used by another person that has ill-content and wishes to harm another person. It should be used responsibly and should be kept out of the reach of irresponsible people.
