...every person I know (in real life) is pro gun. None of them have God complexes. (Well except one, but he's a trip).
As for clinging to their guns more violently they would their children...what's to stop someone from taking their children if they have no guns to protect themselves? I know that probably sounds way off in left field, but I'm just throwing it in.
The last comment, feeling "macho," I don't doubt some people feel that way. However, most I'm sure have a serious respect for human life and the minute you put a firearm in their hands they don't have a feeling of anything "macho" or superior. (Unless you count the feeling when they do a decent job on the target).
