IMHO an interesting and well written article from the NYT

5. No, actually

As I'm more interested in what you and other DU members think. I know what I think (but don't really expect you or anyone else to care, let alone be convinced by my opinions), but your reaction is of interest. Not a very long article nor behind a paywall.

Personally, I found it rather reductionistic and slightly condescending but also targeted to readers who the author assumes know little about guns and dislike both firearms and those who either enjoy same as a hobby or intend to utilize them for defense. But that's just my take, it could be easily wrong, I cannot imagine an NYT article taking an enthusiastic RKBA stance, that's a foregone conclusion. I think the best and most germane part is that the author starts to get at firearms as an extension of a cultural milieu rather than as the fetish that a lot of adamantly anti-gun people seem to envision when they think of gun owners. What say you?
