The doctor hasn't always felt the same way about guns.

I think only 10 had a problem with guns. I know 9 didnt.
This part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzmnP...tailpage#t=95s is a bit unDoctor.

No, 9 did have a problem with guns. He didn't make as big a thing about it, generally cause when people had guns with them they were being pointed at him or Rose at the worst rather than others and that wasn't common. But 10 was the first Doctor to make a big thing about not liking guns. Matt's Doctor does have a thing about guns but he's not as fussed as 10 was particularly when it comes to River Song, which considering he's only just found out who she is doesn't make much sense to me but still.
The Doctor's policy on violence has been wholly consistent - it's OK when he happens to feel like it, and totally wrong if he doesn't

Yeah! that moment did make me gasp a little. I have to ask though: how have you linked to a specific timecode in youtube? I've wanted to do that for ages!
EDIT: don't worry, just found it on the right click - is it a new feature?
what fascinated me about the gun thing was how up in arms some people got about the shot of Smith firing a gun in the series 5 trailer that aired shortly after the End of Time part 2, with many people claiming "the doctor would never fire a gun" even though we had just SEEN the Doctor fire a gun in the episode that very evening!

That made me laugh so much. "Come along Sarah"
Where did he learn that?
fell into a youtube hole yesterday and found this as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt3qZYUPi2Y
Must admit, for some reason it's always irked me the way DW doesn't like to arm himself but he's quite happy to let those around him riddle his enemies with bullets (or laser beams) on his behalf while he takes the moral bloody high road.

I think it might be more complex than that - I get the impression that the most recent incarnations of the doctor aspire to non-violence, but don't always achieve this goal. Is it one of the rules the doctor needs because he isn't a good man?
As for the sentiment, I'm more than happy to be presented with an "action" hero that depends on wit and intelligence ahead of force and violence. Although, as I've suggested the Doctor doesn't always live up to this laudable ideal. How does everybody else feel concerning his gun policy?

Uhuh,
I get all that and I can see the appeal of a hero who beats the baddie with guile and cunning rather than by filling them full of lead but it just bugs me the way he's quite happy to let others do the dirty work for him.
I can't recall them all off-hand but there's been a few recent episodes where the doctor seems to have been positively gleefull about the idea of one of his entourage shooting up the joint while, at the same time, maintaining this whole "anti gun" thing.
Stuff like the part where he confronts The Silence and cheerfully tells them that River Song could probably zap 6 or 7 of them. Great plan. Rely on others to shoot up the place for you and then lecture people about how bad guns are.
I don't mean to take this particularly seriously BTW. It's just one of those things that I've happened to notice.

It irked Davros too - remember in 'Journeys end' him saying "The Doctor, who never carries a gun, instead takes ordinary people and forges them into weapons " and we got the montage of people who had died trying to help the Doctor...
