Jim Lehrer, journalist and US Marine, wrote in 1992: "I learned to fear and loathe guns. Having been trained to use body-splitting automatic and semi-automatic weapons I find it impossible to see them as anything but tools of death and injury. They are made to cut people in half, to blow holes in their chests, to splash their heads. In my opinion only the untrained and ignorant play word games about the manliness of holding a gun."
