Mayor Pete Buttigieg expressed his dissatisfaction with the concept of carrying a gun after serving in Afghanistan.
Over time, I realized having a gun made me feel smaller, not bigger, he said during a conversation about guns with a BuzzFeed reporter as part of his bus tour in Iowa.
The mayor was asked about his feelings on guns as a veteran who served in Afghanistan in the Navy Reserves but apparently did not engage in combat.
Earlier in September, Buttigieg criticized men who had their sense of manhood wrapped up in owning a gun.
[I]f it gets to where your sense of manhood is wrapped up in owning a gun, I think thats where our culture is on the wrong track, Buttigieg said in an interview with TMZ Live.

This is my rifle, this is my gun. One is........... Some know the rest. Anyway, we have an incidence of a tool carrying a tool. It's not supposed to make you FEEL anything other than knowing you have an efficient tool ready to assist you in your assigned task. So, 'mare' pete, take it to the bank.

It shouldn’t make you feel either larger or smaller unless you have mental problems.
Now I do feel a bit safer with one.

If his psychology is such that possessing a firearm makes him feel diminished, he should consider being treated for that.
