My mum told me that she hated guns back at a time when my dad bought a sufficiently powerful enough air rifle that it needed a licence and a cabinet being installed which the police can inspect.
She told me she hated them because there was a family member who had accidentially shot himself dead while carrying a shot gun and crossing from one field to another through a hedgerow which triggered the weapon.
I just thought of another example. There is a guy I sat next to at a work related dinner a couple of years ago. I'd never met him before but talked to him for a while. Nice guy. He was accidentally killed in a hunting accident several months later. The bullet also hit his son. His children are now without a father. Guns shoot bullets and bullets are generally meant for hurting or killing. I just don't understand why an average person needs something like that. Risks far outweigh the rewards.
