> owning a gun has to become anti-social
That's kind of amusing, since the most social thing I've done is buy a gun... far more than any of my other activities.
"Doing computers" or being a "space geek" isn't very social, despite tons of fora like this one, because you never actually meet someone face-to-face and have a drink with them.
Riding motorcycles is inherently anti-social.
But buy a gun and you connect with dozens of local folk that share the same interest and have a sort of tribal us-vs-them close-knit-ness caused by the anti-gun people. And going to a gun range isn't the sort of thing you can do over Skype. And people at a gun range are very social... you'll have complete strangers wander over and go "oooh what kinda gun is that?" and "you want to try out my new red-dot I got? it's nice!"
So good luck to that.
(and the funny part is I bought a gun in case I got Alzheimer's...)
