"How does my correspondent "know" that his neighbors would murder him if they had guns? He doesn't. What he was really saying was that if he had a gun, he might murder his neighbors if he had a bad day, or if they took his parking space, or played their stereos too loud".

I think that the above quote is the core of the anti-gun movement. I met a friend at a gun shop one day and he couldn't stop shaking when we were inside. I didn't know he was anti-gun. He told me he didn't trust himself with a gun. The anti-gunners are a form of Luddite-ism.

In our society of little/no responsibility and absolutely no accountability the mass of people are unacustomed to that kind of power. Make no mistake, it is power to own a firearm and there are those of us that have been given the proper tools to deal with it, by our parents of course.

The rest were taught by government that kind of power in anyones hands (outside gubment) is dangerous and that once inside the gun culture who knows???

I'm not sure that I trust myself with a gun because I've a bit of a temper and a tendency to act without thinking things through properly, but I've no desire to take your gun away. Some people are apparently too arrogant to realise that their insecurities don't apply to everyone else.
