from Facebook:

Why do so many people who are opposed to guns assume gun owners must be
'living in fear' in order to own guns? Such assumptions aren't made for
people who own fire-extinguishers or carry a spare tire in their car.
This question reminds me of a funny story. A Trooper pulls a car over
for speeding and the first thing he notices is an elderly woman behind
the wheel. As he looks inside the car, he is shocked to see a Desert
Eagle revolver on the passenger seat. He backs up and asked if she had
any more weapons. She replied, “ There is a Glock 40 in the glove box, a
..38 Taurus in the console, a Kahr arms CW-9 in my purse, an AR-15
between the seats, a Katana in the back seat, and nunchucks in the
driver’s door compartment.” The amazed Trooper asked her what she was
afraid of. Her reply, “ Not a f***** thing “.

It's also a standard leftist discussion ploy. Attach a false
characteristic to the person you're speaking to (fearful, racist, etc)
so they feel they have to defend themselves against it.

A popular one used is "transphobic." The false accusation that you
"fear" transsexuals because you don't think a man should participate
in women's sports, for example.

Obviously, they have a problem with telling the difference between
male and female (among many other things.) Just because they
self-identify as "compassionate" doesn't mean they really are.
