"The irrational fear of weapons is a sign of retarded
emotional and sexual maturity."
Sigmund Freud

Got this off Milton Bradley.
It depends on what you mean by "irrational fear." For example, if I'm a highschool student and a classmate brings a gun to class, I might be a little alarmed. "Sexual maturity" would have very little to do with it. In fact, regarding some people with guns, they might get some sexual gratification with them, at least in a "power" sort of way. Keep in mind that Freud, like virtually all philosophers, had some whackjob ideas.
