I used to go skeet shooting with my grandfather in Florida when he was alive. I have many friends who are part of gun clubs here in Canada who I have gone to those clubs with. I have pics on my camera roll on my phone of me shooting an AR-15 before they were banned in Canada with one of my buddies who competes in target shooting. My father in law is a Vietnam vet and I have gone to the range with him multiple times while in Texas but please go on about how "I have never handled, let alone used a firearm".
You might have made some good points in your comment but I ignored the rest of it after you decided to make presumptions about me.
I'm a free speech absolutist and a property absolutist. The government shouldn't decide what I own.

OK, I am surprised, its hard for me to understand how you can say "gun obsession" like its a bad thing. Almost everyone I've met has done a full 180 on guns once they are introduced to actually using them. Sorry for presumptions.

I recognized after the fact that using terminology like “gun culture” and “gun obsessed” made sound like my crazy liberal neighbors who thought I should be scared walking around Texas because everyone had guns. Probably not the best way to describe the difference between my respect for the right to bare arms and my wife’s family and some of my friends who are gun aficionado’s and have houses full of firearms. If that’s your thing, it’s your thing.
