Is owning automatic weapons a testosterone thing?

9. I believe their main motivation comes from their fear of losing these weapons

Since the 90s these gun humpers have been saying that the Democrats are going to disarm the populace. The purchase of guns has increased, including the purchase of "assault-style" rifles. I used to work with some of these people and even used to go to the outdoor shooting range with them. Many of them had fears of liberal "gun grabbers" and feared the violence of lawless "thugs" they read about in far-away placed like Detroit, L.A., and Chicago. These people saw any restrictions to their rights to have any weapon they wanted as government over-reach.

I used to enjoy firing assault-style rifles when I was in the Army and continued to train with handguns after I left the service. I don't know if it was a testosterone thing or not. Shooting targets was fun and I never fantasized about blowing away the "bad guys." I haven't been shooting for 25 years or so, although I still own several handguns, which are all unloaded and safely locked away at my almost ex-wife's house.
