First he says "its only a piece of metal and plastic" then he admits its "scary".

When I took my NRA gun safety classes (back when the NRA care about marksmanship and safety and wasn't a repuke lobbying organization) we were taught that guns were powerful, dangerous tools to be respected.

So which is it? just some pieces of metal and plastic or are they tools?

What a sad scared man.
