....... I'm all for gun control in my country, mostly because it hasn't created any adverse effects and also because if I had to carry a gun everywhere I'd have to go to shooting ranges to practice regularly and I honestly can't be arsed. Guns are incredibly boring things. There's nothing at all interesting about them from my point of view.
I agree with the rest of your post, but guns and money make the world go round these days, and have since the advent of both. Calling them "boring" is either ignorant or some rhetorical strategy.
You're writing about the concept of a gun, or the effect guns in general have on society. I'm writing about personal experience with the use of and practice with guns. I thought that was clear from context but if not, that's what I meant.
Yes, I find them dull. Deadly dull. And loud, even with earmuffs. Autos are kind of fun the first time I guess, but by the time you can strip and reassemble one blindfolded in sixty seconds all the fun is gone. And even when it was fun, was never the kind of rush you get when you finally understanding a provable statement about the nature of reality.
Maybe I'd change my mind if my life was in danger from a threat I could only remove with a gun, but it's not and so gun ranges are just noisy boring places to me.
You're intelligent!
