I own guns, but I'm from Texas, so it's almost required.
I grew up where guns were common and no big deal. People actually had some common sense, children listened to their parents, and I never knew of any problems due to guns.
I hunted some in my younger days, not for sport but for the meat, but that no longer appeals to me. Today I'd rather have a good steak than anything I might bring down. I've never considered it "sporting" to kill anything.
I like target shooting but don't do much of it anymore.
I like guns for the same reason I like any other piece of machinery, for the craftsmanship and technology. I've always been mechanically inclined, and like knowing how machines work and working on my own whenever possible. That's all a gun is, a machine, it is not evil.
