I've never quite understood this.
But, before I am accused of being a fascist and a warmonger: I've worked for a guns magazine, wrote a column. My views caused a lot of distress amongst the Finnish gun nuts and rednecks. In hindsight it might not have been that good an idea to have a column with my name and face criticizing the -- at least in my view -- slack gun control laws that allowed civilians to own full-auto equipment. Never before have I received death threats! And we had to do some damage control as some advertisers were pulling their ads from our mag because of what I wrote. The prime of my life, that was.
(And I got to shoot oh so many a gun. SMGs, lots of different pistols and others. No heavy stuff, mind, which was a bit of a drag.)
