No, but most firearms enthusiasts do. 
Surrrrre. Sure they do.
 
    
 
Lack of access to a firearm is not pushing someone around.
Trying to take away the access from the current 300+million people that have it is.
Its the textbook definition.
 Sticking a gun in their face is.

Or secretly fantasizing about wanting to shoot that shitty driver in traffic, the boss who gave you a bad review, or that store clerk who wouldn't give you a refund.
More outliers.
That all you got?
Unoriginal, and unimpressive.
