I have a friend who can’t even bear to look at a gun laying on a table. In her case I can understand, she was born in 1940/41 in Holland were as a very young child she witnessed people being rounded up by the Germans. Heard gunshots and may have even witnessed someone being shot. I know she says her father had to hide out in the woods so the Germans wouldn’t kill him. She is a pacifist now.

I suspect that her reaction countered by the opposite reaction by just as many people. Look at how many southeast Asians came here and armed themselves ASAP.
