Hehehe Its basicly the "Tim the tool man Taylor" syndorme [img]smile.gif[/img] Basicly (but not exclusively) a guy thing. We like tools, we like using our tools, if it isn't guns, its cars, if it isn't cars, its sound systems, if it isn't sound systems it's computers...men and boys and toys.
MOST gun owners don't want them for causing wanton destruction...its a skill an art that we like to excell at (shooting that is) out of the estimated 400 million firearms in this country only a few tens of thousands a year are used in crimes. (in a country of roughly (300 Million with an area larger than all of europe) The percentage that are misused is very low, and not even on the same level as the percentages of deaths caused due to cars.
