Most of my friends own guns and plan on getting more. That said, I once met some one from New York City who literally (I kid you not) trembled at the sight of an antique revolver pictured in a book. Up until that point, I had never met anyone like that in my life and was dumbfounded by the reaction.
I live in a rural community where most folks are armed and hunt often. Crime is very low here and arms come in quite handy against dangerous wildlife here (mountain lions, bears) that come near our homes.
Sounds like a pussy. I see pictures of stuff way more dangerous than guns like fascist tyrants and don't react like that. Hell, I see them in live action on TV and don't even tremble in fear. Rage, maybe, but that's a different story.
