Firearms represent the ultimate evolution of man as a toolmaker/user. with a firearm in my hand, I feel a kind of bond to all before who used their brains and perseverance to solve problems by altering the world around them (foodgathering, defense from predators/enemies, etc.)
Other human creations may be more complex or powerful (aircraft, nuclear power), but a firearm still represents the ability of the individual to survive, prosper, and contribute to the betterment of his community with his own hands, eyes, and mind.
I happen to think that's pretty darn cool.
