You're quoting the guy who snorted so much cocaine that he thought his mother wanted him?

Now, I'm no Fruedian, but I don't think anybody is willing to go out on a limb, and proclaim that he had it all wrong.

ah, fair enough. But I think he was taking a wild stab again.

Perhaps there is a connection here, because there does seem to be a lot of irration fear, and fear mongering concerning the gun.

One could argue that the attachment to the gun is unhealthy. To the point where a gun is more then a defense mechanism but a way of life. I'd rather err on the side of caution when dealing with a deadly weapon.

And since the anti-gun lobby deny it is the person committing the crime, and insist that it is the mere precence of the gun, well, there's no way to deny just what it is they're attempting to demonize.

Everyone is guilty of demonizing. Gun lobby too.
Guns cause death, but guns save lives...nice little catch-22. If only we could just give guns to the good guys...
It's not that simple.
