My family are from the country, where guns are just another tool (IE, a mechanical device with no implicit psychological characteristics). These "urban" associations with guns don't jibe with their "rural" function. Ironically, the function of those guns might be altered dramatically if some fancy law-makin' city-slicker were trying to take them away.
The "taking-your-guns-away-boogeyman" is the ideological flip-side to the "replacing-the-Constitution-with-the-Bible-boogeyman" . . .
