Wow! That part about projection hadn't crossed my mind. If I understood correctly, the anti-gun advocate might very well fear that if he had a gun he might "have a bad day" and shoot someone. Great article.

I've encountered this very sentiment, multiple times.

I don't have a full theory constructed, but there seems to be some correlation between being a responsible gun owner, and being an "adult" in general. Many non- or anti- gunners lack a certain personality trait that goes along with the knowledge that one can safely and effectively manage a potentially lethal tool.

Regarding your sig, and by applying what the article says about projection, does that mean HE is really the one that wants to choke?
