Most anti-gunners I have run into have one or several of these traits 1) fear all guns 2)Led a sheltered life, and don't think anything bad will happen to them so a gun is not necessary 3) are protected by armed guards so no one else should have a gun 4) feel that gun crime can be legislated away 5) want to take the choice of "having a gun or not" away from everyone else. 6)feel, if we just make a few more anti-gun laws the criminals will stop shooting people and if that doesn't work, pass more and more gun laws! 7) want to control everyone and decide who has certain rights and who doesn't! 8) feel they are superior and know what is good for everyone else. The only way their thinking might change is if they become a VICTIM of a mugging, home invasion, robbery or in a situation where they suddenly realize they are vulnerable, unprotected and afraid for their life! After one or more times being in this situation, rethinking the stance against gun ownership and training sometimes can happen. Good luck trying to convince an anti-gunner without this "type" of experience!
