What I'm saying is that some of us that own guns are not "gun nuts", we don't "get off" on shooting, and aren't on a power trip. We see it as a serious matter of personal and civic duty.
Most people in my ward own guns because it is a rural area and most of them were raised respecting them and understanding their common sense uses. I'm a lot more comfortable with these simple folk wielding weapons than I am anyone packing because of some misplaced delusion of grandeur.
