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.

I think claiming theses guns are for protection is being a bit disingenuous. Again, not very knowledgeable on the subject, but bht there's obviously something else at play here that isn't really being admitted as the primary reason people want guns so bad.
