Negative in a big way. I'm a supporter of second amendment and if we were country that had extensive background checks I would definitely feel more comfortable. The issue that I really have with so many people being armed is that something as simple as harassment or even a fight which would end up with most people walking away winds up with someone dead or bystanders shot and killed. The last thing I want to be is stuck on a subway train with some lunatic firing their gun. If someone pulls the emergency brake, the car stops and you're literally stuck there.
