Are you uninterested in being able to defend your family, friends and neighbors from the brutality of criminals? Uninterested in being able to defend your property from a brazen thief? Uninterested in having the power to stop a rapist with your daughter on his mind? Uninterested in the power to stop a crazed madman on a shooting spree gunning down innocents? Uninterested in stopping a terrorist from executing a mass murder, should chance find you in a position where you could do so?

If none of these interest you, then no, you are not a conservative, and out of politeness I will refrain from characterizing that attitude.

I said that if I lived in a scum neighborhood or had a family to worry about, I'd reconsider. That is not "uninterested" in self-defense.

I am, however, uninterested in guns. If I chose to own one, I'd become interested just enough to know what I needed to know. I own a stereo and a cell phone, and know how they work and what to do with them, but am uninterested in either.

None of this should have needed explanation, but obviously it does.
