17. Of course he didin't. He's a gun owner just like us
He just supports a few, common sense,reasonable, restrictions and we should too.
That's why he's so empathetic

8. Sometimes, it may seem that way.
But being scared of a gun is simply fear born from ignorance, and guns only kill people when other people use or misuse them.

Maybe you need to take the course?

12. So you consider fear of heights and spiders the same? Maybe...
people just fear guns.

I have never understood why gun owners want to make people uncomfortable just because they can. Defeats the purpose.

15. Trying to make it seem I said something I didn't. Thats called dishonesty.
And its a sign that you no longer have anything to support your argument, or your irrational fears.

18. It doesn't work.
When I said that guns don't make me feel anxious at all, the next page still said I had severe Hoplophobia.

Bogus web site.

They're really charging almost 3 grand to cure someone of their gun phobia? :wtf:
