wow, shocker. always when i see guns i think of love peace and unity :s
Funny, I think of marine line throwers, nails, flares, combustion, machining, mass production, freedom, hunting, equality, safety, unity (all parts working together), ballistics, material science, t-shirt cannons, maintenance...
The study itself has me thinking about oppression, helplessness, deception, controversy, fear, death, soft-targets, attempts at rhetorically facilitated disarmament, the inevitability of the breakdown of civility somewhere in the world eventually, and how much I hope any nearby would-be victims are at least armed to defend themselves against an attacker.
Funny how adding the human element to a tool is the scary part; not the tool itself. It's almost as if the people are the problem; not the tool.
On a more serious note, I really do wish people would take more time to understand what a "gun" really is. It's a projectile launcher, nothing more.
