"I don't own one. I would be uncomfortable around one, and it would take Muzzies on the doorstep to get me to buy one."

I agree with everything you said after this statement. Do not fear or be uncomfortable around an inanimate object. Learn about it and train on it and you will be better for it. You need some range time brother!! Start off with a Ruger 10/22 rifle. It's a nice little 22 lr semi. No recoil and a good rifle to learn on. Then you can celebrate the Heller opinion by going out and buying a nice handgun.

In fact, reading the federalist paper 46 and other various quotes from the founding fathers, one could conclude that it is the duty of all Americans to own a firearm for no other reason than to be part of the militia and protect our country against governmental tyranny.

Best bud from high school is a FBI agent in Alabama. I love that guy so much I went out on a range with him three years ago, and at least fired. But yah, we need better education about both the law and about handling. I agree with those who say gun control means hitting your target.
