Studies seem to show that the act of owning a gun has a psychological effect; you think about it a lot, have "protection fantasies," are more likely to resort to it instead of intelligence in a crisis, etc.

Guns are destructive, hunting for sport is evil, killing in general is almost always bad. Just so we're clear with where I stand.
