How totally childish.
1. Offer to sign a waiver or other document that gives him some reassurance that you will take full responsibility for any mishaps or liability arising from your guns.
2. Ask for a meeting to discuss the issue and try and reason with him... If you've always paid rent on time, and kept the house in good order, he would be a fool to kick you out for this reason. Not to say that there aren't lots of fools in the world... but.. as a landlord, you need to be a bit flexible about your renters idiosyncrasies.

I had a tenant for a few years that was a professional photographer/videograher. I recall one visit to the house to fix a broken dishwasher and when I knocked on the door he met me out side to warn me that he was working on a project and it was spread all over the living room carpet. What was the project?? Turns out he was putting together all the promotional materials (photos, calendar, video, TV commercial) for a local "gentlemens' club". Did I get mad and throw him out? Of course not. But I did start checking in on him more frequently
