Gotta agree with Kadath here. There's no reason that one has to have fired a gun to be opposed to them. What extra information might one collect from firing a gun? Would that be guarateed to change one's mind? I don't think it tells us anything, in fact I think your own bias is showing Art.
I was raised around guns (loaded gun in every room when I was a kid) own several and shoot them. It's fun, but I can still see their detrimental effects on society. Am I anti-gun? No. I don't think anyone should be allowed to own a full automatic weapon, but that doesn't make me anti-gun. Neither am I pro-gun, unless by that you mean that I think people should be able to buy guns for target shooting and hunting and collecting.
Perhaps that makes me gun-neutral.
