      If that’s how you want to read in to it, sure. It less about a gun being as safe, or as socially acceptable, a more about the psychological satisfaction granted from striving to perfect your usage of a tool. I could make the same comparisons to carpentry, archery, cooking, go-karting, golfing…etc.
