What role does stigma play with respect to you and your firearms? For instance, have you ever bought a gun, shot it, experienced a malfunction(s) (fixable by either the user or the manufacturer), and then had the gun perform flawlessly since, but still didn't fully trust it because of its history of issue? Let's say a pistol jammed once every 50 rounds. You notified the manufacturer, sent it in for servicing, and ever since it returned, it has been 100%. Would you still have a negative stigma associated with that gun?
How about manufacturers? Some manufacturers have lots of QC issues which are improved as the company grows and matures. However, I am certain that some people may avoid certain manufacturers based on their earlier issues.
This is all purely subjective and will be different for each person. However, I'm curious to see how much stigma impacts your relationship with firearms.
