Me too, but I have relatives who grew up in families where hunting was a thing and they just don't see it this way at all— to them, a hunting rifle is exactly as dangerous as a kitchen knife or circular saw. Basically, a tool that has a time and place and needs to be treated with respect.

Which is not unreasonable, but more importantly, someone with this context sees comments about taking away hunting guns as ignorant urban superiority, scapegoating, and cultural disregard.
