That is the "man on the street" impression you get from a lot of folks who aren't "in" the "gun culture". They get most of their info second and third hand, sometimes even just from what they hear on the 6 o'clock news.

This isn't really their fault as they literally don't know any better. In those cases where we can change that perception, we need to seize the opportunity. It's why some of us do "take a friend to the range" days. Find a complete N3wbie and run 'em through a fun shoot. School 'em on basic safety and let them blast away some of your ammo supply.

I've changed more than one mind doing that. The Gods willing, I'll be able to do it again soon...

I do it all the time. Taught my wife to shoot the first time I met her. Took her family to the range the day after Christmas this year and taught her dad to shoot. Took some noobish friends to gunshow just yesterday.
