In some cases you are correct...For some people, it is a man thing. They feel tough because they have a gun. But for others, the skill of target shooting a handgun and knowing about them, the different models, the look and feel of them, tactical use, safety, training etc. is what they get off on. You can usually tell who "respects" the gun and who doesn't.
Same as automobiles. Some people collect or admire cars because of the feel of driving them, the satisfaction of knowing all about them, the look and feel from an artistic view, and some guys have a cranked up engine so they can lay rubber because it makes them feel like a man.
In either case one type should not be confused with the other. A car has several purposes, transportation, to facilitate the enjoyment of driving, and as a showpiece that says something about the owner. A gun has many purposes as well, killing something, to facilitate the enjoyment of target shooting, and as a showpiece that says something about the owner.
whether something is "bad" or "good" should depend on the owners intention, not the object.
To say "guns are bad", you may as well say "Cars are bad" since they can cause someones death as well (and do so more often than guns).
