I have half a dozen things in my office that could be used to kill someone. (No, no guns).
Thing is, I am not going to kill anyone.
There are "tools" in our shop that can maim or kill if used improperly. We stress safety all the time.
Guns are weapons. Weapons can be considered tools. They can be dangerous when used improperly, or "properly" by a bad guy, just like many other things in our society.
People are the problem, not guns, saws, knives, swords, bats, 2X4's, tire irons, lawn darts, rocks, cars, boats, jet skies, walking across the street, etc.
How does it impact me? I am very careful when using anything that can do damage to me or others, not just guns.
