Another good example of why these ‘people’ keeping wanting tougher gun laws. They know deep inside that they do not have the self control and moral to be responsible gun owners and users. And so they project that onto everyone else thinking that they are just as flawed and ‘must be protected’ from themselves and their possible actions.

Yep.

“How does my correspondent “know” that his neighbors would murder him if they had guns? He doesn’t. What he was really saying was that if he had a gun, he might murder his neighbors if he had a bad day, or if they took his parking space, or played their stereos too loud. This is an example of what mental health professionals call projection – unconsciously projecting one’s own unacceptable feelings onto other people, so that one doesn’t have to own them.”
