Other recent posts reminded me of the gun culture aspects
Some people grow up in the gun culture with no issues, well accustomed to havign guns around for hunting, shooting, defense, collecting, etc. They, and even non-gun owners around the culture, don't usually see themselves (or guns) as 'the problem'.
People who are against guns often seem to have not had the same experiences, so may not see or understand the attachments people have to their...lifestyles, associated with guns. They would likely see no viable need or purpose in most people owning them.
Your "Safety feature post is a good thread in that it talked about basically simple things that could help make guns safer, without asking for people to have to give up something(s) that for whatever reasons they feel are important to them.
