I own both, a Glock 21 and a 1911. But I don't get all huffy puffy when someone talks shit about either one, just like I wouldn't get upset if someone called my screw drivers pieces of shit.
People have a weird need to defend their gun purchases to the death.

I think it highlights another deficiency in a lot of gun owners. There is a large contingent who spend more time petting their guns and showing them off at barbecues than they do actually shooting/carrying/competing with them. If this wasn't the case companies like Krapber would have been put out of business a long time ago. Course I think to some degree we all go through this phase a little but some gun owners are permanently stuck in it.
