People who don't like guns / hate guns / think that guns are a reason for people's actions are often doing what some call "projection". They know that they don't know guns, and would be dangerous with them, or they know that they could not trust themselves with guns, and project that onto everyone else, in their minds.

Dang! This is some spot-on psycho-analysis. You're 100% right. Take a person like that our for a few drinks to loosen their tongues and you'll usually find a head full of snakes.
