The unnatural fear of guns and those who use guns, according to Jeff Cooper, is Hoplophobia. Thankfully, there is a cure.
Its the Ruger 10/22. I know, you shouldn't start a beginner with an auto loader, but lets face it, its funner and more satisfying than a bolt action, especially to those who have a resistance to weapons.
For those of you who suffer Hoplophobia (surprised to find you here, of all places), congratulations, recognizing you have a problem is the first step. Now for the prescription: go get about $200 from your savings account, get your little Ruger, go to the range with a brick of good ammo and some targets (your friendly gun store clerk can help you with all of these items) and remember to take an experienced shooter with you. In 3-4 hours you will be cured! There's no need to suffer this affliction anymore and there is a cure.
Now if we could just cure "liberalism"
