I played in my band at church yesterday. I went to greet some folks who are winter visitors. One of the wives asked me what I did in my spare time. I told her I play a lot of music and I shoot a lot.
They looked at me like I must be nuts.
I won't bore you with the conversation but the outcome was fairly predictable.
They do not understand how anyone would want to own firearms and would like to see them just go away.
While the conversation was civil. . .I really wanted to slap some sense into them.
Sadly, there are a lot of people who feel the same way. Some we know and some we don't.
It does not matter that cars and alcohol kill many more than guns and in each of those cases we hold the PERSON accountable. With guns, that anger is directed at an inanimate object.
It just defies logic.
