I would disagree. I can see the appeal of guns and I'm sure that many can, whether they are pro gun or not. Shooting as a test of one's skill is arguably as compelling as any other accuracy-based competitive activity such as archery or darts. Guns themselves can be compelling too, whether to feel like your favourite hero from a Western or action movie or simply to feel safe/powerful. They can empower those who would otherwise feel afraid. Guns themselves are not the problem, much as tigers themselves are not a problem. Their safe place in society is the question.
