You have to understand that neutral looks positive to a lot of us. From people cherry picking data, to including 18 and 19 year olds in "children" when studying gun deaths, despite the fact that they are legal adults, a lot of academics, sadly, don't have your integrity. They have a political ax to grind, and are determined to grind it.

My entry into the gun community began when a student introduced me to the argument from a number of legal scholars that whatever we can do to the Second Amendment can be done to the First, et al., and developed out of a fascination with the history and mechanical inventiveness of firearms--helped along by a fellow member of my faculty writers' group who wrote stories about Reconstruction Era Tennessee. But as you point out, guns have no teleology--other than to propel bullets down range--beyond what we humans give ourselves, and it's my goal to sign up more citizen-gun owners as I advocate for guns and leftist-liberalism.
