I am pretty sure the neighbor across the way has some. Now his widow. I know the next guy down the road has some.
If I thought any of these people were unstable, it would worry me if they had a pistol. As long as I know they're normal, I wouldn't care if they had a machine gun.
I realize that this isn't "normal" in the 'burbs or the cities, but around here, people use these guns for a bunch of stuff, including target shooting and hunting. It is normal around here.
Around here, if you don't have guns people assume you are a felon. It doesn't do a whole lot for your reputation. I don't hunt, I do fish, and I don't like guns, although I do know how to shoot. But scared of them? No. Scared of people who have them? No - I'd be terrified of all my neighbors. It would be like being scared of black people or southerners or white people or rain.
