Apologies to you if you're a gun'sbraster

I was in my Japanese class when we got on the topic of gun control laws. (My teacher is the token liberal professor at BYU, and he favors tighter gun control laws. It didn't have much to do with Japanese.) One student said "Well, maybe a lot of Church members think guns are a good thing because they were important to us historically when we were being persecuted." Another said "It might also have to do with geographic areas." I tend to lean left, and since most of BYU, and by extension my class, is pretty conservative when it comes to the right to bear arms, I started to wonder what would be the most inflammatory thing I could say. I didn't end up actually contributing much to the conversation because I started giggling like a schoolgirl, but I immediately came up with "Maybe it's because of repressed sexuality." (Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if that were the case for a lot of people who like guns.) Then later the potentially more inflammatory thought of "Maybe it's because of repressed homoerotic urges." Then as I was biking home, "I know! Maybe we could classify gun ownership as a paraphilia!"

See, it'd be really funny if I said these things out loud in a classroom full of gun nuts. Right? You yourself can try them at home or on the job.
