So I genuinely wasn't expecting such an interesting and passionate response. In some cases it seem more like a common example of forum based 'hating' in others I can see very valid arguments...... however none really touch on what I intended to get across with the original post. I can accept a gun as a tool primarily with sporting events and hunting in mind.
So in the interest of making it more clear I'd like to reiterate the comment and ideally generate some more discussion.
"What is is about fire arms that cultivates this seemingly innate respect that the OP was giving fire arm owners? Is cultural value? Some intrinsic value I am unaware of? Make it clear to me. Is obtaining a fire arm really that difficult legally in the US?"

Modificato da Jeep Driver: 10/13/2015 9:42:58 PMThe respect referred to in OP opening statement, in my opinion, requires clarification. It does seem odd to respect someone, as OP implies, simply because they own a firearm. That said, I have personally witnessed rude and childish behavior being exhibited by firearm owners both with and without a weapon in their immediate possession. Therefore, and as a firearm owner, I will offer that simply owning a firearm does not inherently heap respect upon the owner (or the holder of such). Rather, respect is something that is earned, hopefully not at the point of a gun. Finally, no, it is not that difficult to own a firearm legally in the US. Obtaining a fully automatic weapon is still possible but can be very expensive.

Thank you for clarifying. Well said.
