This just reminded me of an atheist quote talking about theists who would argue about evolution. It said, "Since when did ignorance become an opinion?"
Why would not having handled a gun be ignorance on the subject that we're actually talking about? Granted, it's ignorance about how it feels to fire a gun and so on, but you can't even confirm I'm ignorant about the mechanics of the things. For all anyone knows, I could have a detailed schematic of every handgun ever made stored up in my head.
Which is, again, secondary to the issue of gun safety and whether these contentions we're dealing with are realistic or not. I don't need to have fired a gun to exist in the reality I do, where having one on hand has been completely unnecessary for me and everyone I know, in my entire life.
