Guns are inherently disgusting.
…
If I was speaking purely emotionally…
You are. It sounds like you have conflicting emotions when it comes to guns (disgusting vs. cool) and have decided to indulge one over the other.
That’s not how I interpreted it at all. I think he was saying that his response wasn’t purely emotional while the people who say that guns are exciting and cool are speaking out of pure emotion.
“Disgusting” is not in any way an “objective observation”.
