GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Blindgreed1]

I think this goes back to FU's (or was it Maggs?) claim that some study showed that women are afraid of guns. Personally, I don't get it. Just the mere sight of a holstered gun creates fear inside of you? Do military vehicles and cop cars cause the same kind of fear? How does someone go through their life in fear of an inanimate object?

I have guns in my home and I had to learn how to use them because of that. I spend a significant amount of time alone and I live in the country. I don't ever want to have to use them beyond going out into the field a few times a year to shoot. I am not afraid of guns, I am afraid of strangers with guns.

How did you come to the conclusion I'm afraid of cop cars and inanimate objects? Simply because I said I would be uncomfortable with seeing weapons in public? That seems kind of presumptuous to me.

I guess because I realize it's not the weapon you're afraid of, but the person carrying it. Cop cars have holstered weapons in them and cop cars are in public. Guns are inanimate objects. They can't hurt you unless someone takes action to hurt you with one.
