I guess a gun can, to an extent, be described as the equivalent of a Gyges ring. Just as a person puts on the ring and reveals his true self because of the invincibility it grants him, so the person who takes a gun in his gun shows his true aggressive and oppressing colors.

A good point well made. I think you've highlighted it well. If we modern cavemen have genetically developed a safety catch then we won't be affected but if the prehistoric juices still run through us then holding a weapon encourages the flow and all that goes with it. It's then up to our "learning" to keep us in check. I think I'll keep that in mind for a future post i have planned about genetic learning. Thank you for engaging and adding to my ideas. 😊
