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.
That's an interpretation of "uninterested" I have not seen previously. I'm not a big gun enthusiast but I made damn sure I knew how to fire one accurately. Might be needed one day to defend our country on our own soil.
