I hate guns. I don't even like being around them, period.
They make me uneasy (They are, after all, only designed with one goal.. to kill or maim a living creature). Always have. I was around A LOT of weapons when my youth.. my grandmother , of all people, had a pretty extensive collection of pistols and rifles.. I always refused to use them.. tho I did have fun with a pellet gun she eventually got me when she realized I wasn't going for the live ammo in a real gun 'good times'.
There were a lot of poor leafs that got it those days.

But in the scenario where the government has collapsed and anarchy is occurring.. id probably want one. there are a lot of cold and evil people out there.. and the ones that don't show it WILL during a perceived 'crisis' for personal survival.

Id never use it in an offensive way tho..
But Im not naïve enough to think others wont try to do it to me.. and id like to be able to defend myself if nobody else is around to help me without one


totally understand your stance tho..
