Quote:
One Chinese customer new to the country started shaking when he held a gun for the first time, Lin said. When he handed the gun back to Lin, it was soaked with sweat.
“I just tell them don’t be scared. It’s legal here,” Lin said.
I've encountered similar reactions even from Americans.
It's as if the gun itself radiated evil intent. I bet the inverse square law applies there, too.
Yes, Virginia, there is a hoplopohobia.
