When I read his post, MY interpretation was that handling and responsible use of a firearm makes one feel like they are controlling something powerful, and that gives them a sense of being able to handle more things that life throws at them.....gun related or not. I am not saying my interpretation is right or wrong, just adding my POV. 

Sure.  I got that too.  I just ALSO think that some people think having and handling a gun makes them more powerful to stand up to things they felt week again OR that they get a power rush that they can use a gun against things they don't like.

In addition if you read or listen to some of the "gun nuts" they seem to base their whole life around their guns and owning them.  That's not EVERY gun owner...just the nut cases that feel "empowered" in life because they have guns.

Just saying it can work that way ALSO.
