111. It's a matter of character. I have no interest in gun details. I've known gun owners, unfortunately.

Living in the same world with them, seeing the impact they have on other people has told me all I need to know.

Why on earth would anyone be interested in learning more about guns? People looking for a safe way to kill others, or helpless, frantic animals. What's the attraction to that?
