That, and that you tend to focus not on how well a gun can be used to kill something, but the technical side of how it works, why it works, and why they decided to make it work that way. You're not talking about guns, you're talking about machines that just happen to be firearms.

Plus the fact that you're not one of those people who's crazily to the far <direction> on the issue, making what you say about them a) interesting and b) believable.

Offsides

P.S. I think that whole thing with your mom just proves how crazy the issue has gotten. When the local cops are just fine with something and the school goes nuts about it, somebody's not being rational. Not to mention the fact that if nobody ever teaches kids to respect guns properly, why are we surprised that so many people these days are either scared to death of them or otherwise think they're not a big deal...
